     *     significant bit of each byte will be set if the corresponding

     *     these bits are reserved for possible later use.)  Of course
     *     the information returned in vec is only a snapshot: pages that
     *     are not locked in memory can come and go at any moment, and

     * error, defined as

     *    "ENOMEM: addr to addr + length contained unmapped memory."
