Since I harassed Shameer about using LIST_HEAD() for the iova list
extension, I feel obligated to note that it can also be used here.  If
you approve I'll just remove the above INIT_LIST_HEAD() and declare
unmapped_region_list as LIST_HEAD(unmapped_region_list);, no need to
re-send.  Otherwise looks fine to me.  Thanks,
