Well, I considered that, but struct file is only defined in file.c, in
mapping.c it's just an opaque structure that you can't dereference without
getting undefined struct errors, so it was impossible to return such file
info from get_mapping_info without changing (violating?) the current
design in some way or adding ugliness. If design issues are at stake,
I thought it'd be best to leave to you to do it your way.
