I don't think we really need this comment. If you really want something here:

Marking the range as being kernel pages is certainly an improvement although
I still have mixed feelings about is_vmalloc_addr returning true for a
region where vmalloc_to_page will not return the correct address. I also
don't have a better idea other than complicating is_vmalloc_addr so FWIW
