Can we add some comments around this. When i looked at this first, i was
wondering how nip can be in user region. But then realized that what we
are checking here is kernel address used in real mode. The use of
REGION_ID eventhough simpler is confusing. Hence adding the comment with
details Paul mentioned in email will help.
