BTW, what is the counter part api of remap_pfn_range() for serving the
unmap? Or does it really need to unmap the vm space for this zero-copy
case?

If it isn't necessary to unmap, maybe remap_pfn_range() is faster than
vm_insert_page(s)_mkspecial + zap_page_range() since zap_page_range()
looks a bit heavy.
