+ * During the start() and end() calls, the results in @args will be valid

+ * in @follow_pfnmap_args will be invalid to be further accessed.  Further
+ * use of such information after end() may require proper synchronizations
+ * by the caller with page table updates, otherwise it can create a
+ * security bug.
+ *
+ * If the PTE maps a refcounted page, callers are responsible to protect
+ * against invalidation with MMU notifiers; otherwise access to the PFN at
+ * a later point in time can trigger use-after-free.
