Wait, Rafael. But we will loose the test of mapping virtual address 0
then. I though you would move testing of virtual address 0 into
a separate testcase. I mean testing of first page was a positive
side effect of the former Alexey's patch, so we definitely should
keep it on x86 at least. Gimme some time I'll try to address it
today evening or tomorrow. I think this way everybody will be
happy: procfs get passed on arm32 and x86 will still have first
page testing.
