Ah but maybe we should just tear down the fake offset at unmap time; then we'd
be able to use it as an existence test for the mapping and get the
refcounting right. The last thing I thought of was whether we'd be ok in a
map_gtt -> crash case. I *think* the vm_close code will deal with that, if
we do a deref there?
