To avoid this neverending avalanche of special interfaces and layering violations. Neatly deals with non-contiguous contents and initramfs in device memory, etc. etc. etc. I don't think it will be all that simple. But given that linux-next is just missing one series Al was already ok with to kill off set_fs entirely for about half of our architectures I'd rather go ahead with this series. If you can send a series mapping user memory that actually cleans things up on top of it I'm not going to complain, but I'm not sure it really is going to be all that much cleaner.
