+ * any entries we've read in due to this afs_getpage call, record the
+ * offset and length in avc->multiPage.
+ *
+ * Ideally we would just set something in each dcache as we get it,
+ * but that is rather difficult, since pvn_getpages doesn't let us
+ * retain any information between calls to afs_GetOnePage. So instead
+ * just record the offset and length, and let afs_GetDownD calculate
+ * which dcache entries should be skipped. */
