There's only one user of these functions right now, so the patch for
this proper fix won't be very big.

I specifically didn't do it this proper way because of the comment in the function saying doing it the raw way would be so much simpler - but if that in fact doesn't
apply...

The disadvantage of exposing the vmarea at the interface is outweighed by the advantage of being able to build as a module imo. Unless there is ever going to be a find_vm_area() call, this has to be considered the proper long-term fix to make it buildable as a module.
