I'm wondering what happens if the read goes across multiple memory regions then fails. For example:
```
region 1
region 2
<unmapped> <<< want to read into this region.
```
We will read region 1, 2 and then fail. vm_addr still points to the start of region 1 so we'll return only the contents of region 1, but we could have read region 2 as well.

I had to do something like this for memory tagging in `MemoryTagManagerAArch64MTE::MakeTaggedRange` which checks that all the memory regions in a range are memory tagged.

Or perhaps you:
1. Want to avoid the complication of that at this time
2. Know that memory reads here won't span a memory region so you don't need to bother
