Right, to the greatest extent possible.

Keeping ib_get_dma_mr and the old flags around just means someone
could go back and use the old flags.

I expect well need to keep the driver entry point for user space, but
we should be able to hide the API and flags from other modules.

A wrapper is a reasonable way to stage through that transition..
