Sorry, this fell off my radar. Looks close though so please resend.

If this is for debugging purposes only perhaps it should go into
debugfs. We try to not leak information about physical addresses to
userspace and this would let an attacker understand where memory may be.
That's not ideal and should be avoided.

Nitpick: Drop the comma on sentinel so nothing can come after lest a
compile error happens.

Agreed, avoid the memcpy().
