To make things clear for me and anybody reading this post (and please confirm).
I should not use
virtual_address = phys_to_virt(page_to_pfn(page) << PAGE_SHIFT);
(I assume this is what you meant by home grown)
and should use
virtual_address = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0);
and when done, use
kunmap_atomic(virtual_address, KM_USER0);
is KM_USER0 correct ?
