Off course I was wrong here size is in bytes not in sectors. Which points
out that maybe this API needs to be in sectors.

[Actually it needs to be in pages both size and offset, because of return of
pfn, but its your call.]

Anyway my code above needs to be fixed with
	(size + 512 -1) / 512

Thanks
