Yuk. Yet another parameter. Can't we have a set of flags instead,
indicating both iomap and logging in one go? That would make things more
readable (at least for me).

If we have huge PUDs (like on arn64 with 4k Pages and 4 levels of
translation), would we need something similar? If that's the case, a
comment would be very welcome.
