Good catch. Thanks for the patch. Ira, can you please check the patch as
well?

I have just a few nits below:

Please wrap subject in Fixes tag into ("...").

Why not have 'kaddr' as char *. We type it to char * basically everywhere
anyway.

Maybe I'd call this 'offset' rather than 'delta'. Also if kaddr will stay
char *, you maybe just don't need to touch this...
