From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>
Add a vmalloc call which allocates and creates a new mapping with the
specified pkey in the mapping.
This is currently a placeholder for the idea of an interface. This
does not attempt to update the direct map and as such leaves access via
that map open. Protecting that map would potentially fragment the
direct map.
