SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH 08/12] PAT 64b: coherent mmap and sysfs bin ioctl

The intention was to support memory not in bars, but give a generic
IOMMU mapped memory interface for user space e.g. for the X server.
But that needs a way to return the bus address for the mmap mapping
and ioctl was the best I came up with for that.
Given it was never finished.
