Can we get a bit better error text here?  In USB we were at least giving
people a hint as to what went wrong, "bad map" might not really make
that much sense to a USB developer as to what they needed to do to fix
this issue.

Other than that minor nit, I have no objection to this series, thanks
for fixing this up!
