I note that LKDTM already has a similar test (though it just has a raw
write, and will crash the kernel).

This is the only architecture-specific part of the file.
Rather than duplicating the logic from x86, can't we use generic
infrastructure for this part, and move the existing test into a shared
location?
e.g. could we change to KERNEL_DS and use put_user here?

s/4k/page/ in the prints, if this becomes generic.
Thanks,
