ha - you can’t exploit a page that doesn’t exist :-)

Just pushed the backport to openwrt and I have your ‘don’t allocate the page’ patch as an additional commit in my staging tree here https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/ldir.git;a=summary

It’s all running on my box ok so far

Nothing 7xxxxxxx related has a static address :-)
