Are we certain that contiguous vaddr always maps to contiguous paddr?
For a general __flush_pages_to_ram() function, that would not be
guaranteed. But as this is meant for folios, it must be true:

Thanks for explaining - that just leaves the problem of cowboys like myself abusing __flush_pages_to_ram(addr, nr) with nr > 1 for something that isn't a folio. Maybe a comment 'nr > 1 only valid on folios' would help ...

Cheers,
