It's unused.
10 years ago, back when 32bit was still fairly common and trying to
not exhaust vmalloc space sounded like a worthwhile goal, adding these
to dma_buf made sense.
Reality is that they simply never caught on, and nowadays everyone who
needs plenty of buffers will run in 64bit mode anyway.
Also update the docs in this area to adjust them to reality.
The actual hooks in dma_buf_ops will be removed once all the
implementations are gone.

- * To support dma_buf objects residing in highmem cpu access is page-based
- * using an api similar to kmap. Accessing a dma_buf is done in aligned chunks
- * of PAGE_SIZE size. Before accessing a chunk it needs to be mapped, which
- * returns a pointer in kernel virtual address space. Afterwards the chunk
- * needs to be unmapped again. There is no limit on how often a given chunk
- * can be mapped and unmapped, i.e. the importer does not need to call
- * begin_cpu_access again before mapping the same chunk again.
- *
- * Interfaces::
- * void \*dma_buf_kmap(struct dma_buf \*, unsigned long);
- * void dma_buf_kunmap(struct dma_buf \*, unsigned long, void \*);
- *
- * Implementing the functions is optional for exporters and for importers all
- * the restrictions of using kmap apply.
- *
- * dma_buf kmap calls outside of the range specified in begin_cpu_access are
- * undefined. If the range is not PAGE_SIZE aligned, kmap needs to succeed on
- * the partial chunks at the beginning and end but may return stale or bogus
- * data outside of the range (in these partial chunks).
- *
- * For some cases the overhead of kmap can be too high, a vmap interface
- * is introduced. This interface should be used very carefully, as vmalloc
- * space is a limited resources on many architectures.
+ * Since for most kernel internal dma-buf accesses need the entire buffer, a
+ * vmap interface is introduced. Note that on very old 32-bit architectures
+ * vmalloc space might be limited and result in vmap calls failing.
