Again looking at our old XenoLinux forward port we had this inside the
earlier if(), as an _alternative_ to the &= (I don't think it's valid
to apply both the kernel's and Xen's adjustments). That would also let
you use "buffer" rather than re-calculating it via yet another (risky
from an abstract pov) cast.

It was the very nature of requiring Xen-specific conditionals which I
understand was the reason why so far no attempt was made to get this
(incl the corresponding logic for patch 1) into any upstream kernel.
