You can free them safely if you don't use malloc() / free().  Instead, you
could create an OBJT_PHYS object that you wire when you map into the kernel
and export that to userland via d_mmap_single.  In your driver you just
need to unmap the kernel mapping to drop the reference count on the object.
Once the userland processes exit or remove their mappings the pages would
be freed.
