Yes, the vma->pin_count is guarded by the struct_mutex atm. (The
struct_mutex is our own BKL :(

It's placed next to the function where pin_count == 0 and only called
from it. Yes, I did think the same...

Completely different tasks, as far as I am aware. The iomapping is about
providing CPU access to the IO region, dma-remapping about providing
device access to physical memory, and our own VMA is about how the
object sits in all the different views of both CPU and device address
spaces (of which there are many, and even the CPU accessible address
space is not the entirety of that particular address space).

dev->mode_config.fb_base is the base address of the mappable region. It
is an inconsistently in naming that just hasn't annoyed me enough to
fix.

Apart from drivers like ours we would end up with multiple mappings to
the same region. It was just a little grevience that I think was worth
fixing. It does highlight how buggy our code is currently though as we
never relinquish that mapping when the driver is unloaded.
