I wasn't paying enough attention to this change. If you break
compatibility between userspace and kernel space, you should adjust
your kernel driver's uverbs_abi_ver (which I think you did with the
do_mmap()) removal, and then test the version in the userspace
library, so that it can fail gracefully when it detects a too-new
kernel that it doesn't know how to handle.
