That should work, but it's not particularly nice to wrap kmap around
the DMA API.
Bear in mind that alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL) will always give you a lowmem
page. So, you might as well do:
page = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL);
cpu_addr = page_address(page);
memset()
dma_addr = dma_map_single(dev, cpu_addr, PAGE_SIZE, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
< GPU access >
dma_unmap_single(dev, dma_ddr, PAGE_SIZE, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
< CPU access >
__free_page(page);
and this doesn't raise any issues with kmap vs DMA API.
