I'm fairly comfortable with this from a regulator point of view, modulo
the suggestion I posted in the other message about registering separate
ops.  The fact that there's three combinations of ops is annoying but
doesn't feel too bad, though I didn't actually write it out so perhaps
it looks horrible.  In general removing permissions is safe, and without
separate steps to remove write protect (which I see in your patch 5) the
writes wouldn't actually work anyway.
