Perhaps: 'cat /proc/self/cmdline'
As we were hacking O_DIRECT support into 2.6.15, I found what seems like
a very similar situation.
It seems that all users of get_user_pages() *except*
/proc/*/[cmdline|environ] call get_user_pages() with addresses aligned
on page boundaries. I am not sure if that is the problem here, but it
seems similar.
