Sorry, no dice.  Please read the code a little more. 
PMAP_REMOVE_PAGES_CURPROC_ONLY is unconditionally defined, and we check
in pmap_remove_pages() that we are curproc.  vtopte() can never fail
in these circumstances - ie: there is always a pointer returned.

The real problem is.. why is the pte null with a pv entry pointing to it?

Cheers,
