[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Don't call change_page_attr with a spinlock held

It's illegal because it can sleep.

Use a two step lookup scheme instead.  First look up the vm_struct, then
change the direct mapping, then finally unmap it.  That's ok because nobody
can change the particular virtual address range as long as the vm_struct is
still in the global list.

Also added some LinuxDoc documentation to iounmap.
