Does anyone have a pointer to the list archives for that linux-arch
thing?

I believe there are none. BTW, the iomap discussion didn't happen
on linux-arch. Linus posted saying "hey, I've added __iomem markers
for sparse's benefit; isn't this cool?" and there was some discussion
around that, but nothing about the iomap() interface.

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
