Thanks for the patch!  I have just a couple of comments.

kmap_local_page() is not necessarily faster than kmap() but it is more correct
in this case.  You should mention why.

Also to help with kmap_local_page() there are a number of helpers implemented
in highmem.h for things like memcpy, memmove, etc.

Check out memcpy_page() for this use case.

Thank you!
