Some stuff in the code gave me a pause but it's out of scope here so just in
case someone wants to do some extra churn...

I wonder if this should rather be done only after dealing with the -2 case
below. It seems wrong to init the iterator with a bogus address. What if it
acquires some sanity checks?

It seems suboptimal to do that mempolicy refcount dance for numa_maps sake
even if we're reading a different /proc file... maybe priv could have a flag
to determine?

I think only after the above it makes sense to init the iterator?
