Maybe.  But nothing looks strange there.  Just to re-reconfirm, you had to
revert "maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault",
"maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility"
wasn't enough?

Below is a patch to do a "partial revert" for probe_roms.c.  I'd be
totally surprised if it changes anything from staring at it for while,
but anyway..
