The reason I thought it was useful was because this function is now
defined in a header. Someone else might decide to use it. Does it seem
more useful?

It is only one fixmap entry so it needs to be flushed after changing
the PTE to point to a different page. But this is only for the case of
unmapped pages, the more common mapped pages are copied from the direct
map like usual.
