Please use a lower case naming following the naming scheme for the
rest of the file.

Unless I'm misreading the patches this is used for the same pages that
also might be dma mapped. In this case you need to use
flush_kernel_vmap_range and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range in the right
places to ensure coherency between the vmap and device view. Please
also document the buffer ownership, as this really can get complicated.

Is there any exlusion between mmap / vmap and the device accessing
the data? Without that you are going to run into a lot of coherency
problems.
