Can you tweak the last couple of sentences please, as they don't make sense
to me? To be specific, I'd suggest replacing:

  "If there is no more space in the altmap and we'd have to fallback to PTE
  (highly unlikely). That could indicate an altmap-size configuration
  issue."

with something like:

  "For consistency with the PTE case, return an error here as failure could
   indicate a configuration issue with the size of the altmap."

With that:

OK, I will send V5, thanks.
