       remap_vmalloc_range - map vmalloc pages to userspace

SYNOPSIS
       int remap_vmalloc_range(struct vm_area_struct * vma, void * addr,
			       unsigned long pgoff);

ARGUMENTS
       vma
	   vma to cover (map full range of vma)

       addr
	   vmalloc memory

       pgoff
	   number of pages into addr before first page to map

RETURNS
