This comment is wrong, I have just sent a patch fixing this:

"riscv: Fix comment regarding kernel mapping overlapping with IS_ERR_VALUE"

I saw that you removed this useless new line, thanks.

The merge you have done is correct to me. Sorry about the above 
mistakes, should have caught those before.

Thanks,
