commit a1149fc8 upstream. When we allocate a bounds table, we call mmap(), then add a "valid" bit to the value before storing it in to the bounds directory. If we fail along the way, we go and mask that valid bit _back_ out. That seems a little silly, and this makes it much more clear when we have a plain address versus an actual table _entry_.
