AFAIK, This patch is introducing a bug.

The intention of the code is to check if  "addr" is within
0xC0000000..0xCFFFFFFF    or
0xD0000000..0xDFFFFFFF.

Your patch will make the ARM core *read* from whereever 'addr' is pointing at.

'addr' is an address specified by the user!

You do not know *where* is it located, and if the ARM reads
from an arbitrary address, there is a big chance that it will trap...

Best Regards
Ulf Samuelsson
