David, the generic code is definitely doing different things.

For one, the sparc specific code allows mmap'ing any address range
within a PCI bus device.  The generic code does not allow that.

I know this was used by the X server and that's why the logic is
there.

So we can't just use the generic code without breaking things, sorry.
