I see that max_addr isn't used for arm64, and for ARM it's only used in
one place. It doesn't seem great to have that on arm64 given it's
unused.

Do we actually need max_addr? Is there any reason not to always dump
whole tables?

I guess you're trying to avoid dumping the kernel VA range on 32-bit?

Thanks,
Mark.
