Followup: I think the following should fix the problem.
My qemu tests pass with this change.

Original patch:

-	WARN_ON(end - start < 0);                                       \
+	WARN_ON(end > start);                                   \

This looks wrong, since 'end - start < 0' is equivalent to 'end < start',
not 'end > start'.
