OK, so I've looked at it. I think there are some style issues with the 
indentation in match_chain_addresses. Also, the unmap_ip lines are too long 
for checkpatch.pl

Additionally, we can now still run into the CCKEY_ADDRESS code path (when 
match_chain_strings for inlined symbols returns MATCH_ERROR, or when either 
cnode->ms.sym or node->sym is invalid), but won't unmap the IP properly then.

Can we maybe instead use something like this on top of your patch?
