Unfortunately no.
Roughly init_mm is only used to map vmalloc area on Linux/ia64.
init_mm of Linux/ia64 doesn't map the area of [PAGE_OFFSET, ...].
Traversing init_mm with a virtual address of the area
gives a zero-filled pte entry.
It also populates unnecessary pud/pmd/pte pages.
Linux/ia64 resolves faults on the area [PAGE_OFFSET, ...]
by tlb insert without init_mm traverse after checking
faulted virtual address and its privilege.
