Is this what you had in mind? If not, then I don't know how to do it :-)

It seems that it might be structured in a better way -- but that better way
eludes my imagination. Thanks for commenting!

Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix virt_addr_valid()

virt_addr_valid() calls __pa(), which calls __phys_addr(). With
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y, __phys_addr() will kill the kernel if the
address *isn't* valid. That's clearly wrong for virt_addr_valid().

We also incorporate the debugging checks into virt_addr_valid().
