vec_buf_len and vec_buf_index can only have values in 0..512 range.
flags has only a few lower bits defined (this is checked on ioctl
entry) and max_pages can be limited to ULONG_MAX. Actually putting `if
(!max_pages || max_pages > ULONG_MAX) max_pages = ULONG_MAX` would
avoid having to check !max_pages during the walk.
