Switching to %px gives me:

arm64/mm: Found insecure W+X mapping at address 
ffff2b1b4e512000/0xffff2b1b4e512000

Looks the same as before.

However, when I try to dump the contents of memory at that address via 
print_hex_dump(), I get an "Unable to handle kernel paging request" oops.

[   11.236091] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address

[   11.243985] pgd = ffff2b1b55a0d000
