If it is already taking a page fault I'm not sure the extra function call indirection is going to be a big deal. Having a uniform VMA sounds saner than every driver custom rolling something. When I unwound a similar mess in RDMA all the custom VMA stuff in the drivers turned out to be generally buggy, at least.
