For the record: the reason I've avoided doing this one is that when
jbarnes and I talked, we figured that this prevents userland from
mapping at all, though we really only care about preventing write
mapping of the registers/aperture.  Since we've still got a bunch of
really useful userland tools for debugging that rely on read-only
mapping of registers, we're pending this until we get that information
into the kernel somehow.
