Awesome thanks for that! Just been firing up qemu to do this.

Cases 5-8 should really have addr == curr->vm_start, I wonder if it's
another case but curr is being set incorrectly, it should in theory not be
the case.

(See [1] for a visualisation of merge cases as a handy reference)

Of course userfaultfd might be the offender here and might be relying on no
merge case arising but passing dodgy parameters.
