The patch looks good to me, but I've a question below.

There are no generated functions for .fb_mmap, I wonder what's the value
of __FB_DEFAULT_DEFERRED_OPS_MMAP() ? Maybe just removing that macro and
setting .fb_mmap = fb_deferred_io_mmap instead if there's no custom mmap
handler would be easier to read ?

Alternatively, __FB_DEFAULT_DEFERRED_OPS_MMAP() could still be left but
not taking a __prefix argument since that is not used anyways ?
