This could stand a little reworking. How about this?

/**

* @folio: Folio containing all pages in range.
* @page: First page in range to unmap.
* @nr: Number of pages to unmap.

*
* All pages in the range must belong to the same VMA & folio. They
* must be mapped with PTEs, not a PMD.

We're still doing one atomic op per page on the folio's nr_pages_mapped
... is it possible to batch this and use atomic_sub_return_relaxed()?
