Right, but I can't refactor every driver I touch, it's not really tractable. I'd
like to get this change done before I retire :)

Again we're getting into the same issue - my workload doesn't really permit
me to refactor every user of .mmap beyond converting sensibly to the new
scheme.

I think this kind of change is out of scope for the series.

I'd rather make this as apples-to-apples as possible for now so it can be
done vaguely mechanically.

Of course we can follow up with improvements later.
