And you added BUG_ON()'s.

After commenting on your first set of patches, I've been using it a little 
more.  In my use, these debugging messages weren't very helpful because 
"pfm_file_ops" can indicate pfm_mmap, pfm_read, pfm_poll, etc.  Could 
these be changed to be more specific based on the function they're in?

Likewise.  Using "syscall" for all debugging messages in the syscall 
handlers isn't very informative.  Could this be PFM_DBG(__FUNCTION__) 
instead?

This is whitespace damaged.

What failed?  More information would be helpful since this is, after all, 
a diagnostic message.

Casting here should be unnecessary.  Changing %L would be advisible to 
display the data as it is stored in the object.

More whitespace damage.
