 *
 * @arr is an array of @pages gfns to be mapped linearly in the local
 * address range. @err is an (optional) output array used to report
 * per-page errors, as errno values.
 *
 * If @err is given (is non-NULL) then the mapping may partially
 * succeed and return a valid pointer while also using @err to
 * indicate the success (0) or failure (errno value) of the individual
 * pages. The global errno thread local variable is not valid in this
 * case.
 *
 * If @err is not given (is NULL) then on failure to map any page any
 * successful mappings will be undone and NULL will be returned. errno
 * will be set to correspond to the first failure (which may not be
 * the most critical).
 *
 * It is also possible to return NULL due to a complete failure,
 * i.e. failure to even attempt the mapping, in this case the global
 * errno will have been set and the contents of @err (if given) is
 * invalid.

 * Note that it is also possible to return non-NULL with the contents
 * of @err indicating failure to map every page.
