> The ideal solution would be to do mapping against a different struct
I cannot imagine why it should be that difficult. The PCI subsystem
could over a pci_clone_device() or similar function. For all complicated
purposes (sysfs etc) the original device could be used, so it would
be hopefully not that difficult.
The alternative would be to add a new family of PCI mapping
functions that take an explicit mask. Disadvantage would be changing
all architectures, but on the other hand the interface could be phase
in one by one (and nF4 primarily only works on x86 anyways)
I suspect the later would be a little cleaner, although they don't
make much difference.
