Please take a look at dma_mmap_prepare and dma_mmap_fault in this
branch:

	http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git/shortlog/refs/heads/dma-mmap-improvements

they should allow to fault dma api pages in the page fault handler.  But
this is totally hot off the press and not actually tested for the last
few patches.  Note that I've also included your two patches from this
series to handle SEV.
