       The  vm_map_check_protection()  function  asserts  that  the  target  map  allows the specified privilege
       protection over the entire address range from start to end.  The region MUST be contiguous; no holes  are
       allowed.

       This  code does not and SHOULD not check whether the contents of the region are accessible.  For example,
       a small file may be mapped into an address space which is significantly larger in size.

       vm_map_check_protection — check memory protection for a vm_map

       The vm_map_check_protection() function returns TRUE if the privilege is allowed; if it is not allowed, or
       if any other error occurred, the value FALSE is returned.
