  Log:
  Temporarily work around a race in the kernel.  The kernel does a sanity check
  on the KVM memory range read via /dev/[k]mem.  However, if the user buffer
  takes a VM fault and blocks the process, the related kernel memory could
  become invalid while the process was blocked.  Try to avoid taking faults on
  the user buffer by touching it first.
