Please keep "nr_pages", I have a very strong preference for that over just "pages"
as the "nr_" makes it super obvious that it's a single number, as opposed to an
array of pages or something.

And it doesn't truly matter, but IMO the gfn_t type is more appropriate since
the gfn and the number of pages need to have the same type.
