Two more refinments below, I hit send a notch too early.

Maybe add here "Exporters also have strong opinions about which locks they
can acquire in their ->map/unmap callbacks, levaing no room for change."

On 2nd thought, probably better to do this as a follow up 2 patch series,
first patch adding the lockdep_assert_not_held to lockdep.h, 2nd one
adding the else here and in the unmap function below. Otherwise we're
going to be stuck in another bikeshed here.
