I think we still need at least a comment in the commit log since the arm
code is moving from ioremap_page_range() to map_vm_area(). There is a
slight performance penalty with the addition of a kmalloc() on this
path.
Or even better (IMO), see below.

You could avoid the dma_common_page_remap() here (and kmalloc) and
simply use ioremap_page_range(). We know that
dma_common_contiguous_remap() is only called with contiguous physical
range, so ioremap_page_range() is suitable. It also makes it a
non-functional change for arch/arm.
