When vmalloc_user is used to create memory that is supposed to be mmap'd
to user space, it is necessary for the mmap cookie (eg the offset) to be
aligned to SHMLBA.
This creates a situation where all virtual mappings of the same physical
page share the same virtual cache index and guarantees VIPT coherence.
Otherwise the cache is non-coherent and the kernel will not see writes
by userspace when reading the shared page (or vice-versa).

Remove exported functions which are no longer required as the
functionality has moved into rdmavt. This also requires re-ordering some
of the functions since their prototype no longer appears in a header
file. Rather than add forward declarations it is just cleaner to
re-order some of the functions.

Add, remove, and otherwise clean up existing comments that are leftover
from the initial code postings of rdmavt. Many of the comments were added
to provide an idea on the direction we were thinking of going. Now that the
design is solidified make a pass over and clean everything up. Also add
details where lacking.
Ensure all non static functions have nano comments.
