No review from any other Intel developers? :(

Anyway, what in-tree driver needs access to these functions?

And are you sure that you don't need to do any "real" logic in the
vmap/vunmap calls?  That feels like there would be some reference
counting problems here.

Just call ion_dma_buf_kmap(dmabuf, 0)?

Again, please get this reviewed by someone else in Intel first.  Don't
ignore the resources you have, to do so would be foolish :)
