I didn't doubt that you get the right results, I just couldn't see how ;-)

I think if you enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL, the virt_to_page()
above should trigger a warning in

phys_addr_t __virt_to_phys(unsigned long x)
{
        WARN(!__is_lm_address(x),
             "virt_to_phys used for non-linear address: %pK (%pS)\n",
              (void *)x,
              (void *)x);

        return __virt_to_phys_nodebug(x);
}

Can you verify that?
