SubjectRe: [git pull] IO mappings, #2
Having looked at this some, I have one, tiny little suggestion:

Should the documentation for this function (perhaps the
certainly-forthcoming kerneldoc comments :) mention loudly that this
function uses KM_USER0? This isn't kmap(), and doesn't look much like
it; someday some developer might get an ugly surprise when they try to
use that slot simultaneously for something else.
