The remap_pfn_range here is what tells get_user_pages this is a
non-struct page mapping:

	vma->vm_flags |= VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP;

Which has to be set when the VMA is created, they shouldn't be
modified during fault.

Also the vma code above looked a little strange to me, if you do send
something like this cc me and I can look at it. I did some work like
this for rdma a while ago..
