    Fix for Linux 4.16 and later ARM64 kernels that contain kernel commit
    fa2a8445b1d3810c52f2a6b3a006456bd1aacb7e, titled "arm64: allow ID map
    to be extended to 52 bits", and which have been configured with both
    CONFIG_DEVMEM=y and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y.  Without the patch, an
    inconsequential error message indicating "crash: read error: kernel
    virtual address: <address> type: idmap_ptrs_per_pgd" is displayed
    during initialization.
