We have a lot of places in our downstream driver where it's not really clear
whether an &IoMem<'bound> and etc will be available.

E.g.: places like the submit path or the async vm_bind path, both invoked from
the JobQueue, which runs on its own workqueue in our downstream implementation.

i.e. when the JobQueue calls the driver's "submit to hardware" handler, Tyr 
needs an
IoMem to perform the mapping in the vm_bind case, or to write the doorbell
register in the submit case. Also places using delayed work, which is still
restricted to 'static workqueues IIUC.

That's what I meant by "Devres we will eventually need in the future". Perhaps
there is a plan to relax the 'static requirement like what happened recently to
the IRQ code? Because otherwise my suggestion would be try_access().
