Hi Thadeu,

So sorry for the late reply.
I will merge the patch into V1.6.4 with the following modifying 
because I have already accepted "Always use bigger SECTION_MAP_MASK" patch.

63,68c63,64
<       if (info->kernel_version < KERNEL_VERSION(4, 13, 0))
< -             map &= SECTION_MAP_MASK_4_12;
< +             mask = SECTION_MAP_MASK_4_12;
<       else
< -             map &= SECTION_MAP_MASK;
< +             mask = SECTION_MAP_MASK;
---
> -     map &= SECTION_MAP_MASK;
> +     mask = SECTION_MAP_MASK;


Thanks
Tachibana
