This is From: Chris but lacks his sob. Can't merge as-is, pls ask him for
his sob on irc.

This comment doesn't mesh with the

	unsigned int has_wc_mmap:1;

above. If you depend upon atomicity of writes at the hw level, your struct
member _must_ be a full machine word. Which in practice means

	/*
	 * IMPORTANT: We have unlocked access to this, this must be a
	 * stand-alone bool.
	 */
	bool has_wc_mmap;

You can only fold together different bitfields into one if they're _all_
protected by the same lock. gcc needs to generate read-modify-write cycles
to write them, which means if any of them are accessed through a separate
lock or lock-lessly, there's a real race.

With that fixed (and assuming the ABI fix has still Chris' ack/sob):
