Why is this not already covered by the existing tests? (Is there
something special about NULL that is being missed?) I'd expect SMAP
and SMEP to cover NULL as well.

Most arches print a different message whether the faulty address is
above or under PAGE_SIZE. Below is exemple from x86:

pr_alert("BUG: unable to handle kernel %s at %px\n",
address < PAGE_SIZE ? "NULL pointer dereference" : "paging request",
(void *)address);


Until recently, the powerpc arch didn't do it. When I implemented it
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=49a502ea23bf9dec47f8f3c3960909ff409cd1bb),
I needed a way to test it and couldn't find an existing one, hence this
new LKDTM test.

But maybe I missed something ?

Okay, gotcha. You're getting more complete reporting coverage. Sounds
good to me. Thanks!
