Well, this is a fix for the interface for HUGE_VMAP stuff so it doesn't really make sense to change the implementation here. If you want to change or make a different API that would be a later patch, no? > Obviously the implementation gets simpler, > but can the callers cope?

Well callers that operate on ioremap today (and vmalloc tomorrow) won't cope, because they're expecting a base page. If you wanted to change it I suspect the way to go would be introduce a new function and move everyone over individually.
