Linking problems. But compiled and run
!!! CANNOT lookup_address()!!! Returns NULL on bare AND Xen
Before AND After vm_insert/remap_pfn. Address looked_up is what
fault_handler passes in. Had to add a NULL check in print_data.

Bare-boot log.
 [TTM] ttm_bo_vm_fault: faulting-in pages, TTM_PAGE_FLAGS=0x0
 [         Before:]PFN: Failed lookup_address of 0x7fd82e9aa000
 [            After :]PFN: Failed lookup_address of 0x7fd82e9aa000
