This should probably use nth_page.

That being said I really wish we could have a more iterative version
of vmap, where the caller does a get_vm_area_caller and then adds
each chunk using another call, including the possibility of mapping
larger than PAGE_SIZE contigous ones.  Any chance you could look into
that?

So the same chunk could be mapped to userspace and vmap, and later on
also DMA mapped.  Who is going to take care of cache aliasing as I
see nothing of that in this series?

The cnt manioulation is odd.  The normal way to make this readable
is to use a postfix op on the check, as that makes it clear to everyone,
e.g.:

	if (buffer->kmap_cnt++)
		return buffer->vaddr;
	..

Same here, just with an infix.

There is absolutely no reason to inlines this as far as I can tell.

Also it would seem much simpler to simply let the caller assign the
free callback.
