Facepalm. my bad. Will fix it.

Idea is to map all of the nest counter area since event
offset could be anywhere within this region.
Will document that here.

Yes. thats the intended. That said, i need to fix the
IMC_NEST_MAX_PAGES value for 4K page size.
Reason being, there was a recent change in the
size of memory allocated for nest counters in the
HOMER region for the microcode.

We check in multiple places in the function and return on fail.
Thats why we made it as a generic return with goto.

Yes. Thats right. Will make the changes.

Thanks for review
