Also, wouldn't there be a problem with something trying to use that

Yes just doing the rmap based solution would have required DRM etc to
maintain their own rmaps. So it looks that we need to go with both
variants. Note that secondary device MMUs that need to run code outside of
atomic context may still need to create their own rmaps.
