Impressive patch! On the other hand a lot of the interesting data isn't it kmalloc anymore, but in slab. Does it really track all that much?
Also i'm not sure how you handle initializedness of DMAed data (like network buffers). Wouldn't you need hooks into pci_dma_* for this?
Your assumption that only the string instructions can take multiple page faults seems a little dangerous too.
