I guess the reason we need to validate every page is because they may 
already have been legitimately mapped if someone else's reserved region 
overlaps - is it worth explicitly validating that, i.e. bail out if 
something's gone wrong enough that phys_addr != addr?

Other than the naming issue (I agree that map_size is a far, far better 
choice), I don't have any strong opinions about the rest of the 
implementation - I've written enough variations of this pattern to know 
that there's just no "nice" way to do it in C; all you can do is shuffle 
the clunkiness around :)
