It isn't always entirely clear to users the difference between do_mmap(), mmap_region() and vm_mmap(), so add comments to clarify what's going on in each. This is compounded by the fact that we actually allow callers external to mm to invoke both do_mmap() and mmap_region() (!), the latter of which is really strictly speaking an internal memory mapping implementation detail.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
