NULL can be passed for *in_batch* to indicate that the batched lookup 
starts from the beginning of the map.

count is an input/output parameter. It may return the actual number of 
lookup elements if it returns 0 or return ENOENT. Please take a look at
selftest map_tests/htab_map_batch_ops.c for a usage of the function.

"for iteration" => "for batch lookup and delete"?

Okay, I see you mention *count* as input/output here. Again ENOENT might 
need to be handled specially.

Again, count is an input/output parameter. Here ENOENT is not involved.
As you mentioned in the above, if error code is EFAULT, return count 
value cannot be trusted. Otherwise, it should tell how many have been
successfully updated.

"memory address large enough" is very misleading... "points to buffer
large enough"?

But in this case, keys is just an input array of keys, no? In such a
case just saying that "*keys* points to an array of *count* keys"
would be pretty unambiguous, right?

Usually success is described first. Can you please rephrase here and
in others to something along the lines of:

0, on success; negative error code, otherwise (errno is also set to
the error code)

?

if keys are really just an input, let's mark them as `const void *`,
while we are documenting all this?

again this "memory address large enough" wording. Address is fixed at
32-bit/64-bit, depending on the architecture. It's quite a confusing
wording that you chose...

I think keys are also `const void *`, while values are written into.
Let's update accordingly.
