You mean just because it currently is used somewhere which probably is
ok - no clue what DAX does - and even if the source address is still
*kernel* memory and even at the danger that someone else might use it in
the future and think the handling on a potential #MC is ok, you're still
arguing that this is the right thing to do perhaps because it fits your
use case?!

Sorry Tiangen, not gonna happen.
