So you are exposing these two:
 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(get_vm_area);
 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ioremap_page_range);

But if you used vmap wouldn't you get the same thing for free?
Yes, this needs to go into some vmap version, preferably reusing the

Exporting get_vm_area is a complete dealbreaker and not going to happen.
We worked hard on not exposing it to modules.
