Right, it will make kernels >= 4.3 fail, though, until this series is 
upstream. I mean, it highlights a BUG, but we had a similar condition 
with the zeropage and worked around it in the test to keep it passing.

Yes, that's documented as EFAULT and should behave that way. I can 
extend the test to handle that as well.
