True, remap_pfn_range() makes sure that ->pgoff is an absolute
physical address offset for all use cases. So you might be able to
just point proc_bus_pci_open() at the shared devmem address space. For
sysfs it's messier. I think you would need to somehow get the inode
from kernfs_fop_open() to adjust its address space, but only if the
bin_file will ultimately be used for PCI memory.
