I was able to reproduce and got some better debugging out of this:

[    0.193170] __cpa_process_fault(c1673e90, e4afa000, 1)
[    0.208752] max_pfn_mapped: 150528
[    0.218886] PAGE_OFFSET: c0000000
[    0.228597] PAGE_OFFSET + (max_pfn_mapped << PAGE_SHIFT)): e4c00000
[    0.247837] slow_virt_to_phys(e4afa000): 0

The pte looks to actually _be_ empty:

[   44.038145] slow_virt_to_phys() pte: 0000000000000000 level: 1

Not sure what's going on in the end, but it does appear this is another
win for the new BUG_ON().  There really does look to be a real bug here.

BTW, the BUG_ON() is proving to be woefully inadequate.  We need some
better diagnostic messages out of there, and probably a nice dump of the
pagetable walk too.
