This is good to separate the page-by-page path to not make the code
messy, Also I kind of liked Chris' suggestion to not use ioremap_wc() as
it could easily exhaust kernel space.

To make it less messy and more robust, I would prefer to use only the
page-by-page path (no need to even try mapping the full object), with
io_mapping_map_wc()
