- * mseal() disallows an input range which contain unmapped ranges (VMA holes).
- *
- * It disallows unmapped regions from start to end whether they exist at the
- * start, in the middle, or at the end of the range, or any combination thereof.
- *
- * This is because after sealing a range, there's nothing to stop memory mapping
- * of ranges in the remaining gaps later, meaning that the user might then
- * wrongly consider the entirety of the mseal()'d range to be sealed when it
- * in fact isn't.

- * Does the [start, end) range contain any unmapped memory?

- * We ensure that:
- * - start is part of a valid VMA.
- * - end is part of a valid VMA.
- * - no gap (unallocated memory) exists between start and end.
