Hey, I think your patch was better than the one that just assumed that you can do "read*/write*()" on an iomap(). If people really want it, I don't care *that* much. I just think that the arguments that have been raised so far have really been very weak. There really is no "performance" argument without some kinds of numbers. I just think that proliferation of IO interfaces is a bad idea.
