I think p.walk_end_addr can be removed and replaced by `p.arg.walk_end`
directly in the walk functions. If we don't set walk_end_addr we'll also
return 0 so the check below will match. Might be good to add this as
a comment.

When the walk is finished, with ret == 0, the walk_start will point to
the beginning, not the end of the range. So:
if (!walk_end) walk_end = p.arg.end;
Other than that, the patch looks complete now. Thanks for all your work!
