pls move up to the bit fields members.

1. As long as the mapping requests are checking capabilities we should be ok
    Right?
2. What's the deal with capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) in process_init_limits then?
3. Darrick mentioned the need for a synchronic INIT variant for his work on
    blockdev iomap support [1]

I also wonder how much of your patches and Darrick's patches end up
being an overlap?

Thanks,
Amir.
