It looks like a correct way to me :) XFS uses per-cpu-vm_map_ram()-vm_unmap_ram()
API which do not allocate "vm_struct" because it is not needed.

I was a bit confused about "offset" and why it is needed here. It is always zero. 
So we can get rid of it to make it less confused. From the other hand a zero offset
contributes to nothing.

I think it is a bit wrong. As i see it, "n" is a size and what we would like to do
here is boundary check:

<snip>
if (n > va_size(area))
    usercopy_abort("vmalloc", NULL, to_user, 0, n);
<snip>
