But that is not the case here for this kmap() instance?  If this is a
simple search/replace, why is this not just done once and be done with
it?

Isn't that just a different cleanup than the kmap() change?  Or is that
tied to the fact that the other buffer is now allocated with
kmap_local_page() instead of kmap()?
