ok, but then, what's the best place for them ?

I was talking with Rik van Riel about put those functions as memory
management functions, but he do not agreed with me... "because its a
v4linux specific thing"...

those mmap support functions can be used in some others places, as a
commom interface to drivers to create a buffer with more control

am I right ?
