Looks good to me.
But we need a comment explaining why block_id is set to ULONG_MAX
at the beginning as this might not be obvious.

Also, do we need
 if (block_id != ULONG_MAX && memory_block_id(nr) == block_id) ?

Cannot just be

 if (memory_block_id(nr) == block_id) ?

AFAICS, the first time we loop through 'memory_block_id(nr) == ULONG_MAX'
will evaluate false and and we will set block_id afterwards.

Either way looks fine to me.
Another way I guess would be:
