You need a description.

This is called for VFIO only or is it also called when creating TCE
tables for emulated devices ? Because in the latter case, you don't
want to account the pages as locked, do you ?

Also, you need to explain what +1

Finally, do I correctly deduce that creating 10 TCE tables of 2G
each will end up accounting 20G as locked even if the guest for
example only has 4G of RAM ?
