arm_vmregion_* functions have their own spinlock.

Well, I have no idea how to be more consistent here. scatter-lists operates on 
pages + offsets + length parameters. iommu api operates on the whole pages, but
they are referred with physical address. Right now I cannot change any of it, 
at least not it the near future.
