The whole explanation should talk about virtual aliases over the same physical 
address, not some 'overlapping regions'.

I see where this talk about 'overlap' comes: the memtype rbtree in 
arch/x86/mm/pat_rbtree.c indeed has memtype ranges that may overlap on the 
physical side. But it is highly confusing to call this 'overlapping' on the driver 
API documentation level without making it really clear what it's about.

Thanks,
