Does it persist, i.e. can you unmap a few seconds after this?

unmap process for v1 and v2 images is the same.

No, there is no way to force unmap.  The most likely reason for -EBUSY
is a positive open_count, meaning something has that device opened at
the time you do unmap.  I guess we could start outputting open_count to
dmesg in these cases, just to be sure.
