Subject: [PATCH v2 07/10] mm: Introduce unmap_desc struct to reduce function arguments

The unmap_region code uses a number of arguments that could use better
documentation.  With the addition of a descriptor for unmap (called
unmap_desc), the arguments can be more self-documenting and increase the
descriptions within the declaration.

No functional change intended
