Hm. The switch from ioremap to map_vm_area() here seems to imply that
lib/ioremap can/should be reworked to use just wrap the vmalloc
functions too?

Unrelated to this change.

I did a pass of review here. Nothing stands out as wrong but I don't
claim to know this area well these days.

What's the merge/ack plan here? It might reduce the complexity of
merging to add the common functions in your series, then move the ARM
code over separately?
