The series cleans up the semantics and naming of the low-level mapping
helpers something we started earlier this year. This just finishes that
work and generalizes the infrastructure. So I think this really should
stand on its own.

I really want to do this incrementally with the generic changes first so
we have time to watch for regressions. The series is also at its core a
semantic cleanup.
No matter if I send this in one or in two series I'd like this to be a
two-stage process where we first extend the generic infra and port
existing filesystems as we do here. Next cycle we then port overlayfs as
the first idmapped filesystem.
