That would be 0 for addr = 0 and vma->vm_end = 1; I assume we would
still want to count that as one page.
I'm not too familiar with this area of the code, but I think there's a
handy macro we can use for this, perhaps
DIV_ROUND_UP(end - addr, PAGE_SIZE) ?

kernel/kexec_core.c has defined PAGE_COUNT() which seems more
appropriate but I do not see a global equivalent
#define PAGE_COUNT(x) (((x) + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT)
