Trying to use the address_space approach because otherwise we'd just be
adding back vma list tracking, it looks like we can't call
io_remap_pfn_range() while holding the address_space i_mmap_rwsem via
i_mmap_lock_write(), like done in unmap_mapping_range().  lockdep
identifies a circular lock order issue against fs_reclaim.  Minimally we
also need vma_interval_tree_iter_{first,next} exported in order to use
vma_interval_tree_foreach().  Suggestions?  Thanks,
