Currently there is no means of determining whether a give page in a mapping range is designated a guard region (as installed via madvise() using the MADV_GUARD_INSTALL flag).
This is generally not an issue, but in some instances users may wish to determine whether this is the case.
This series adds this ability via /proc/$pid/pagemap, updates the documentation and adds a self test to assert that this functions correctly.
