Yes, it looks good! I will use it. :-)

Right.

>   - Why is len_pmd len + PMD_SIZE instead of round_up(len, PMD_SIZE)?

The length is padded with an extra-PMD size so that any assigned address 
'addr_pmd'
can be aligned by PMD.  IOW, it does not make an assumption that 
addr_pmd is aligned
by the length.

When 'addr' is specified, we need to use 'len' since user may be 
managing free VMA
range by itself.  So, I think falling back with the original args is 
correct.
