This patch is wrong (I didn't update the matching mtrr_del), and I'm
reworking this whole series.  But I may need some help on this one:
why is the mtrr handle of a map (whatever a map is) exported to
userspace via the ADD_MAP and GET_MAP ioctls?  What (if anything) is
userspace supposed to do with it?  Do I need to return a valid MTRR
register number?  Is there any userspace code at all that sets
_DRM_WRITE_COMBINING in DRM_IOCTL_ADD_MAP with appropriate alignment
and needs the MTRR, for which the drm driver doesn't already add the
MTRR?
