I feel dumb -_- thanks for the explanation (I *knew* that page faults
are expected, but as I couldn't not see when it works or not, I kept
focus on this silly part).

How can I check it is init's page directory ?

I can use sysrq but AFAIK I can show the memory info, not the memory map ?
Modifying the ELF binfmt handler might be doable...
