so this scheme always assumes a physically contiguous memory reason,
and I wasn't sure if we ever wanted to support mapping vmalloc'ed
regions into Hyp mode, which is why I wrote the code the way it was
(which goes to your "for no good reason" comment above).

I'm fine with assuming that this only works for contiguous regions, but
I think it deserves a line in the comments on the exported functions
(the non-IO one anyway).

nit: consider passing a pointer to pfn instead?  Not sure if it's nicer.

nit: change the parameter documentation name as well.

If the contigous thing is not a concern, then I'm happy about the
simplification.
