The only interesting cases of this I know of are X (which ought to stop
doing so in the near future) and certain sound operations (which are
going via a well-defined API anyway and need to handle devices going
away at random, so not a problem). There may be some other niche cases,
but really - if you're mmapping hardware then it's generally because you
haven't written a proper kernel driver. Do that instead. Runtime power
management's already going to make you wildly unhappy.
