Very carefully, and with architecture-specific concerns. There are some #defines you will probably need to study: PAGE_OFFSET TASK_SIZE and probably others... in at least the ARM architecture, ioremap is also a concern with VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END
Someone else may have a pat answer just to get the job done, though.
