What version does this build on? Presumably -Wvla will cause an error
here, but,

Here, we map the pages to some random address via xpfo_temp_map(),
then pass the *original* address (which may not have been mapped) to
__clean_dcache_area_pou(). So I think this whole approach is wrong.

If we want to do it this way, it may be that we need some
xpfo_map_contiguous() type thing, but since we're just going to flush
it anyway, that seems a little crazy. Maybe someone who knows more
about arm64 knows a better way?
