vmap_range_noflush() is static in mm/vmalloc.c
There is vmap_pages_range_noflush() that is in mm/internal.h,
but it needs pages instead of phys_addr_t.
Newly introduced vm_area_map_pages() needs struct vm_struct *area
and struct page **pages.
In this PCI case there is no vm_struct and no pages.
ioremap_page_range() is the only api that fits. afaict.
