Hi Marek,
Thank you for the patch.

low and mapsize are ulong, is there a risk this could overflow on 32-bit
platforms ?
I would rename usable to usable_end to make it clearer.

The code continue with
/*
* Reduce the mapping size in the next bank
* by the size of attempt in current bank.
*/
mapsize -= usable - max(start, (u64)low);
if (!mapsize)
break;
which seems to be correct now, but interestingly was not before :-)
