Sorry, perhaps I'm wrong. See
kmap->kmap_high->map_new_virtual->get_next_pkmap_nr(color).

Seems pkmap will return the vaddr by vaddr + 1 until
no_more_pkmaps(), and then flush_all_zero_pkmaps.
Just kmap_atomic need it, and you've done.

But I don't know why mips need flush_tlb_one in
arch/mips/mm/highmem.c:kmap(). VIPT? but kmap give the get_pkmap_color
for aliasing.
