From: chenqiwu <chenqiwu@xxxxxxxxxx>
The parameter of remap_pfn_range() @pfn passed from the caller is
actually a page-frame number converted by corresponding physical
address of kernel memory, the original comment is ambiguous that
may mislead the users.
Meanwhile, there is an ambiguous typo "VMM" in the comment of
vm_area_struct. So fixing them will make the code more readable.
