Sorry for handling this issue recently.
I like the patch.
Some comment below.

As you already mentioned, __HAVE_ARCH_LOCAL_XXX

Why should function's name represent arch dependent?
IMHO, it would be better to use just zs_cpu_up.

Just out of curiosity.
When do we need above check?

Ditto.

I think we need some comment about why map_vm_area must not fail.
I used below comment in my patch.
+               /*
+                * map_vm_area never fail because we already allocated
+                * pages for page table in alloc_vm_area.
+                */

How about just void __zs_map_object?
Anyway, it's just preference and I am not strong against.

Need comment about vm_buf and vm_addr.

Thanks, Seth.
