Some virtio device drivers (9p) need to translate high virtual addresses
to physical addresses, which are inserted into the virtqueue for
processing by userspace.

This patch exports the kmap_to_page symbol, so that the affected drivers
can be compiled as modules.

Looks OK to me.  Would generally prefer that an exported-to-modules
symbol have some documentation, but I guess this one is obvious enough.

Rusty, please include this if you grab the rest of the series.
