But that's no different from what we do with normal memory, is it? So
it really feels like we should have *one* function that deals with
establishing the basic mapping size from the VMA (see below for what I
have in mind).

For now, maybe. But huge mappings of PFN could land at some point, and
it'd be hard to catch. I think this case deserves a VM_BUG_ON().

BTW, don't you introduce a bug here? Logging shouldn't affect device
mappings.

But isn't what we just agreed to get rid of just above?

I think that'd be good to see what Alex thinks about it...

Here's the changes I propose. It is completely untested, of course.

Thanks,

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
