Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm: remove io-mapping

Sorry Andrew please ignore this for now, I'll send a v2 later.

I'm not having a great day here...

I wrongly assumed that, since this is wholly unused in practice, that nobody
would refer to it or include the header, but it turns out that's incorrect.

Thanks.
