Offset is unsigned and when an address isn't found in the vma map
vma_map_lookup() returns the vma physical address + 0x10000000.

vma_map_lookup used to return 0xffffffff on a failed lookup, but
a change was made to return the vma physical address + 0x10000000
There are two callers of vam_map_lookup: one of them correctly 
deals with this new return value, but the other (below) did not.

The patch has been applied to the powerpc-for-paul branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rric/oprofile.git

Thanks Roel and Arnd,

I think I already put it in the powerpc next branch.

Cheers,
