After open(), mmap(), close() POSIX 1003.1 mmap() declares the mmaped pointer valid. Add a warning to the documentation to inform UIO users keep this behaviour into account. While the inode parameter of in tree UIO kernel drivers is unused by open/release hooks, remove teh inode parateter. This would help to process the release hook in an unmap context.
