A comment here describing the locking conditions the caller must meet
would be a good addition.. It looks like this can only work under the
i_mmap_lock and the returned pfn can only be taken outside that lock
if it is placed in a VMA

Maybe this is not a great API then? Should it be 'populate vma' and
call io_remap_pfn_range under the op?
