I like this patch very much but notice one more again. 
Here is goes, again.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/13/628
It's another hack for avoding vmalloc atomic.
There are several grumblers ago and everybody made own mempool so code
began to bloat and it would be error-prone. :(
I think it's TODO for mm folks to decide.

Anyway, there are some trivial comment below.

What's the default? 256K?
If we specify, couldn't it help?

Please write down why we always need VM_USERMAP.
If we always need it in ARM, why don't you define following as?
#define VM_ARM_DMA_CONSISTENT (0x20000000 | VM_USERAMP)?
Although it's trivial, it could be more understandable that everybody
can think of it that "ARM DMA allocation could be mapped by user space, everytime"

Above definery could enhance this check, too.

Just out of curiosity.
Do we make sure size is always aligned to PAGE_SIZE?
If so, please write down

Why doesn't you use WARN?
