Support strange discontiguous PFN remappings

Browse source 
These get created by some drivers that don't generally even want a pfn
remapping at all, but would really mostly prefer to just map pages
they've allocated individually instead.

For now, create a helper function that turns such an incomplete PFN
remapping call into a loop that does that explicit mapping.  In the long
run we almost certainly want to export a totally different interface for
that, though.
