Please use the kernel types, so u64 here.

Having multiple output parameters makes for a pretty awkward API. Is it
really necesssary given len is a constant PAGE_SIZE anyway.

If you didn't return len, then you could just make the function return
the addr, and you wouldn't need any output parameters.

One of the callers that passes len is unmap_paste_region(), but that
is a bit odd. It would be more natural I think if once a window is
mapped it knows its size. Or if the mapping will always just be one page
then we can just know that.

This is:

#define VAS_HVWC_SIZE			512

But then we map it, which will round up to a page anyway. So again I
don't see the point of having the len returned form this helper.

You don't need that.

That can goto free_name;

Because kfree(NULL) is fine.

And that can just return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
