FWIW, I gave this a spin on a Juno R1 board, and can confirm this
prevents the crash one could previously trigger with:

# cat /proc/kcore > /dev/null

FWIW, for the series:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>
Tested-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

Prior to these patches, I'd get a splat after a couple of seconds, as

Thanks,
Mark.
