Looking at the implementation of some drivers e.g mtd_char. If I read 
the code correctly, we can do this by providing get_unmapped_area method 
and use physical address directly.

But start form CONFIG_MMU should be fine.  Do you prefer making 
vhost_vdpa depends on CONFIG_MMU or just fail mmap when CONFIG_MMU is 
not configured?

Thanks
