I think the right fix here is to rename the operation to unmap_atomic
and send out a little patch for that ASAP.

I'd rather have separate functions for kmap vs kmap_atomic instead of
the flags parameter. And while you're at it just always pass the 0
offset parameter instead of adding a wrapper..
Otherwise this looks good to me.
