It's absolutely true in fact last page is just guard page witch can't be
toched. And (size -1) magic was used in all io**map code before,
but when someone remove this magic by occasion :)
BTW: XEN currently use this magic.
arch/i386/mm/ioremap-xen.c: iounmap() {
....
/* p->size includes the guard page, but cpa doesn't like that */
change_page_attr(virt_to_page(bus_to_virt(p->phys_addr)),
(p->size - PAGE_SIZE) >> PAGE_SHIFT
