I'll take a look, or reconstruct my own sequence, later on today and
send it just to you.  The BUG_ON was not at all what I was expecting,
and I spent quite a while working out how it came about (v_offset
wrapped, so vm_start + v_offset less than vm_start, so the huge unmap
applied to a non-huge vma before it).  Though I'm dubious whether it's
really worthwhile devising such a test now.
