These two commits definitely should be referenced from the commit message,
othwerise no one will understand the history.

Iirc it was in the ddx, and it was actually using the mmap code. Leftovers
from ums, but unfortunately X crashes if we take them away. If I recall
correctly nouveau was in staging still, but per Linus staging or not
