Indeed that looks better than looping in the fault().
But I don't know whether it'll be easy to move io_remap_pfn_range() to device
memory enablement. If it's a two-step thing, we can fix the BUG_ON and vma
duplication issue first, then the full rework can be done in the bigger series
as what be chosen as the last approach.
