It abstracts how an IOVA range is represented in a bitmap that is
granulated by a given page_size. So it translates all the lifting of
dealing with user pointers into its corresponding kernel addresses
backing said user memory into doing finally the bitmap ops to change
various bits.

Don't quite understand the last sentence...

It would come to say that this new functionality abstracts the complexity of user/kernel bitmap pointer usage and finally enables an easy way to set some bits.

I may rephrase as part of V3 to let it be clearer.
