It looks like the patches have changed to remove mmap_abort so this
paragraph can probably be dropped.

It looks like you can avoid the changes to add set_vma by making
remap_pfn_range_internal() only do the complete portion and giving
the legacy calls a helper to do prepare in line:

int remap_pfn_range_prepare_vma(..)
{
	int err;

	err = get_remap_pgoff(vma->vm_flags, addr, end,
			      vma->vm_start, vma->vm_end,
			      pfn, &vma->vm_pgoff);
	if (err)
		return err;
	vm_flags_set(vma, VM_REMAP_FLAGS);
	return 0;
}

int remap_pfn_range(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr,
	    	    unsigned long pfn, unsigned long size, pgprot_t prot)
{
	int err;

	err = remap_pfn_range_prepare_vma(vma, addr, pfn, size)
	if (err)
	     return err;

	if (IS_ENABLED(__HAVE_PFNMAP_TRACKING))
		return remap_pfn_range_track(vma, addr, pfn, size, prot);
	return remap_pfn_range_notrack(vma, addr, pfn, size, prot);
}

(fix pgtable_Types.h to #define to 1 so IS_ENABLED works)

But the logic here is all fine
