Nit: This is actually performed always, but you can disable the output part
by passing {NULL, 0} for the buffer.

There is no need to move to the previous index, as if the walk ends at
this moment, the flush_buffer() code will ignore the empty last range.

The removal of `cur_buf` lost the case of empty non-NULL output buffer
passed in args. That was requesting the walk to stop at first matching
page (with the address returned in `walk_end`). The push_range() call
is still checking that, but since neither the buffer nor the sentinel
values are set, the case is not possible to invoke.

I think this is no longer true? We can now allocate arbitrary number of
entries, but should probably have at least 512 to cover one PMD of pages.
So it would be better to have a constant that holds the number of
entries in the bounce buffer.

Why do you need an `int` here (requiring a cast)?

This should be actually `if (!buf)` as this notes that we don't have any
buffer allocated (due to no output requested).

Testing `buf[n].end` is redundant, as the range is nonempty if
`end != start`.

`category_inverted` can be left out, because if a set bit it is not also in one
of the masks, then its value is going to be ignored.

Why is `p.walk_end_addr` needed? It is not used in the loop code. Shoudn't
it be `p.arg.walk_end` as used in the `for` loop continuation statement?

Nit: I think you could split this into two or three separate `if (x)
break;` for easier reading. The `vec_len` and `found_pages` are
buffer-full tests, so could go along, but `ret != ENOSPC` is checking an
error condition aborting the scan before it ends.

I'm not sure `tag removed` is enough to know what tag was removed.
Maybe something like "with address tags cleared" would fit?
