Generally it is customary to attribute a change like this to those who
suggested it in a V1 review.

For example:

 	- Tvrtko/Thomas: Use kmap_local_page() instead of page_address()

Also I don't see Thomas on the new email list.  Since he took the time to
review V1 he might want to check this version out.  I've added him to the
'To:' list.

Also a link to V1 is nice.  B4 formats it like this:

- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230614123556.GA381200@sumitra.com/

All that said the code looks good to me.  So with the above changes.
