> [JDK-8280940](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8280940) fixed up os.release_multi_mappings_vm to make its handling of multiple neighboring reservations less racy, but I forgot to fix up the reserve_multiple() function, which follows the same pattern and is still racy. It reserves an area, releases it, then re-reserves stripes in that area.
> 
> We see intermittent problems on Linux PPC. This makes sense because we have here 64k pages, and therefore the stripe size is large, and we have a higher chance of someone grabbing that address space concurrently between the release and the stripe-wise re-reserve.
