The underlying implementations of set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() and
set_direct_map_default_noflush() allow updating multiple contiguous pages
at once.
Add numpages parameter to set_direct_map_*_noflush() to expose this
ability with these APIs.

Finally doing some in-depth review, sorry for not having a detailed look
earlier.

Nit: I'd have made this const and added an early exit for !numpages. But
whatever you prefer.

So, what happens if we succeeded setting
set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() for some pages but fail when having to
split a large mapping?
Did I miss something or would the current code not undo what it
partially did? Or do we simply not care?
I guess to handle this cleanly we would either have to catch all error
cases first (esp. splitting large mappings) before actually performing
the set to invalid, or have some recovery code in place if possible.
AFAIKs, your patch #5 right now only calls it with 1 page, do we need
this change at all? Feels like a leftover from older versions to me
where we could have had more than a single page.
