Can we combine pvm_find_va_enclose_addr() with your new function
making it as one function? The aim is to reduce copy-paste and
not create such new "find" functions.

The pvm_find_va_enclose_addr() seems does the same but only in
reverse order. So something like:

find_vmap_area_exceed_addr(bool reverse)

Thanks!
