Not that it hugely matters, but why the term "coordinates"?
Looks like Dan used that term, but I've not come across it being applied
in this circumstances and it isn't a case of being immediately obvious
to me what it means.
If it is just another vague entry in kernel word soup then I don't really
mind the term, but nice to give some reasoning in patch description.
Patch otherwise looks fine to me.
