The main problem here is that walk_page_range is executed for 512 pages.
I think we need to execute it for the whole range and interrupt it
when we need to
drain the bounce buffer.

For a trivial program that scans its address space the time is reduced from 20
seconds to 0.001 seconds. The test program and perf data are here:
