Good news! While I don't have a fix, I have figured out what the issue 
is.

Apparently, the vm_start values is for some reason coming as 0 when it 
is passed into vm_fault_cpu(). That's why it's giving these errors: of 
course the address at 0 is mapped, it is (probably) used by the kernel.

I will look more into it tomorrow, but my brother has come over to 
Seattle from Connecticut so I may not be able to dedicate as much time 
as I would like to.
