+ * touch page structures and the caller must make sure pfns aren't reused for
+ * anything else while he is using them.
+ *
+ * The function returns number of pages mapped which may be less than
+ * @nr_frames. In particular we stop mapping if there are more vmas of
+ * different type underlying the specified range of virtual addresses.
+ * When the function isn't able to map a single page, it returns error.
