ioremap_pte_range() assumes that addr and end are aligned by PAGE_SIZE. While some improvement can be made in the range check and documentation, I do not think it is safe for letting this library function to map outside of a requested range blindly.
Can you change the caller of ioremap_page_range() to align the request by PAGE_SIZE so that the caller is aware of what it's asking for?
