   0xffff200008080000
 +     0xdffff7f7ffff
 --------------------
   0xffffffffffffffff

So it should have ~0ULL of the 'end' already.  I don't know why it
caused the problem..  Was it from the `perf.good`?

Hmm.. also it seems arm64 loads modules under the kernel.  Then the
fixup logic in machine__create_kernel_maps() won't work.  Also as we
don't use the map_groups__fixup_end() anymore I think it's ok just
checking the end address.

Thanks,
Namhyung
