The bounds check used the uninitialized variable vaddr, it should use the given parameter kaddr instead. When using the uninitialized value the compiler assumed it to be 0 and optimized this function to just return 0 in all cases.
This should make the function check the range of the given address and only do the page map check in case it is in the expected range of virtual addresses.

Applied to mips-fixes.
