I actually don't believe our userspace (on nv50 and up at least)
touches them directly either in most (all?) cases. It's definitely
something one wants to avoid if at all possible, that's for sure; but
the possibility is there to have/use the CPU mappings.

Unless they're actually used by userspace, I don't *think* this should
be an issue. It's something we should probably address if it is.
