I think checking for pointers in the 0..4095 range would be worth it,
but trying to handle all those other cases would be too much overhead,
considering how long it's taken for it to become an issue.

write(int fd, const void *buf, int count)
{
  if (count == 0)
    return 0;
  if (!(ptr & ~4095))
  {
    errno = EFAULT;
    return -1;
  }
