But think about x86-64.  The virtual address space (unless you have 5
level PTs) looks like:

[0, 2^47)		userspace
[2^47, 2^64 - 2^47)	hole
[2^64 - 2^47, 2^64)	kernel space

If we try to copy from the hole we'll get some kind of fault (I forget
the details).  We have to stop at the top of userspace.
