Add a remap_vmalloc_range and get rid of as many remap_pfn_range and
vm_insert_page loops as possible.

remap_vmalloc_range can do a whole lot of nice range checking even
if the caller gets it wrong (which it looks like one or two do).

This looks very nice, thanks!

Thank you

Although it might be better to split it
into one patch to introduce remap_vmalloc_range and various patches to
switch over one susbsyetm for merging purposes.

Sure, if anyone insists ;)

I tend to agree. I would tend to do it in just 2 patches
(1 for implementation, 1 for conversion) to make administrative
overheads smaller -- the conversions are small and very well
contained. Is there a good reason to split further?
