Russell, aren't you a kernel maintainer, because for fuck sake get real. I'm not merging bullshit into my tree that has a completely broken API that has to be maintained for ever. You of all people should understand we don't break Linux userspace APIs, and adding a phys addr one is wrong, wrong, wrong, its not cleanups, its just broken, and I'll never merge it.
