Overly long line here, just line break after the return type.

Then again it only has a single user just below and no documentation
so maybe just fold it into the caller?

I wonder if at some point splitting this block that actually allocates
a new folio into a separate helper would be nice.  It just keep growing
in size and complexity.

Nit: no need to split this into multiple lines.

in PAGE_SIZE units?  Maybe also make this a complete sentence?
