Ok, not my first choice for how to handle the allocation side of that,

I'd still feel better if there was an actual data structure assigned
to file->private_data rather than using that 'void *' pointer directly
and casting throughout the driver.

We can add a data structure if we have more member requirements. Currently
we only need to pass the memory pointer. But after moving memory allocation
to init code (even for vmap), we may not need to use this private pointer.
