I am not sure what it means to search within a range of one.  I guess
you would expect it to just return that value if it's empty?

In any case, since we are dealing with pages of data for the VMAs,
having min == max really makes no sense, even with the subtraction of
one in the caller to reduce the max, the min and max should be at least
PAGE_SIZE - 1 apart here.

I think you are right, and I think this needs to be looked at for the
tree on its own, but I don't think it's a problem for the VMA user. I'll
write a testcase and ensure a search for a single entry in a single
entry window works separately.  Thanks for pointing this out.

I'll do the search in both directions.

Yes, but why would we do this?  We have done all this work already in
mas_rev_awalk(), and we have to do it there to get the offset in the
first place.

Thanks.  I'll keep this in mind when I revisit the function.  I don't
want to re-spin the patch for this alone.
