On 32 kernels we don't have this luxury. Well, it's not going to work as well as intented on x86 machine with 5-level paging. Kernel address space there starts at 0xff10000000000000. It will still catch pointers to kernel/modules text, but the rest is outside of 0xffff... space. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt. Not sure if we care. It won't work too for other 64-bit architectrues that have more than 256TB of virtual address space. Just wanted to point to the limitation. -- Kirill A. Shutemov
