+ * get_vaddr_frames() - map virtual addresses to pfns
+ * @start:	starting user address
+ * @nr_frames:	number of pages / pfns from start to map
+ * @write:	whether pages will be written to by the caller
+ * @force:	whether to force write access even if user mapping is
+ *		readonly. See description of the same argument of
+		get_user_pages().
+ * @vec:	structure which receives pages / pfns of the addresses mapped.
+ *		It should have space for at least nr_frames entries.
+ *
+ * This function maps virtual addresses from @start and fills @vec structure
+ * with page frame numbers or page pointers to corresponding pages (choice
+ * depends on the type of the vma underlying the virtual address). If @start
+ * belongs to a normal vma, the function grabs reference to each of the pages
+ * to pin them in memory. If @start belongs to VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP vma, we don't
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * This function takes care of grabbing mmap_sem as necessary.
