[RFC] Making vma_to_pfn() public (due to vm_pgoff change)

[Mukesh R <mrathor@linux.microsoft.com>]

Hi Alex,

This regards vfio passthru support on hyperv running linux as dom0 aka
root. At a high level, cloud hypervisor uses vfio for set up as usual,
then maps the mmio ranges via the hyperv linux driver ioctls.

Over a year ago, when working on this I had used vm_pgoff to get the pfn
for the mmio, that was 5.15 and early 6.x kernels. Now that I am porting
to 6.18 for upstreaming, I noticed:

commit aac6db75a9fc
Author: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
    vfio/pci: Use unmap_mapping_range()

changed the behavior and vm_pgoff is no longer holding the pfn. In light
of that, I wondered if the following minor change, making vma_to_pfn() 
public (after renaming it), would be acceptable to you.

Thanks,
-Mukesh
