Yeap, having v there would be nicer but there already was an exported
function unmap_kernel_range() and I didn't want to rename the current
users or introduce inconsistent names (or interface).  Hmmmm.... There
aren't many users and we can rename them all but I don't feel it's
really necessary.

Thanks.
