I've taken it as-is, since I don't think any of the solutions were wrong.

The mremap() case looks odd, with the _old_ address untagged, but the
new one not. I see the logic, but because it looks so odd I think it
might be worth a comment.

Not a big deal, and more of a "if you get around to it later" note.
