Ok, I'll drop it. I may have misunderstood, but I think Chris Wilson was
asking for it because shmem is the source of the particular requirements
of what can be mmap()d. But I think a helper can be added very easily if
anything changes, so this patch is probably premature.

I'll resend the series with this patch dropped.
