What did you get with this commit? Is this what causes the crash?

riscv for example with flatmem also relies on pfn_valid to do the right
thing, so as far as I can see the check should exclude vmalloc addresses
and it's just a matter of virt_addr_valid not to give virt_to_pfn an
address < PAGE_OFFSET.

If we take riscv's implementation
