I think the point was to keep the biosets embedded in struct
mapped_device to avoid any possible cacheline bouncing due to the
bioset memory being disjoint.

But preserving that micro-optimization isn't something I've ever
quantified (at least not with focus).

Good catch.

Looks fine, did you want to send an official patch with a proper
header and Signed-off-by?

Thanks,
