Well, there is a new OBJT_MGTDEVICE pager, which together with
d_mmap_single() allows to have even per-mapping data. i915kms uses it.
You do not need cdevpriv for the per-mapping data.

Also, MGTDEVICE does track the mappings of the pages, so you can clean
up on device destruction.

Normal callbacks of the device pager allows to execute ctr/dtr methods
at the time of mapping creation and tear down.
