Ying: What is your opinion about this patchset?

One major change seem to be to use a mutex instead of a spinlock
which looks like a fix as the pre-mapping should never happen in
irq context.

I expect the rest is more or less the same, but double checking
by someone who is more involved in these code paths would be
great.

Thanks,
