No, it doesn't compile. This isn't baked enough to really comment on. Looks
like kind of the right thing though. Bear in mind that after a certain point
(in particular after the info is lost of from the grantee's maptrack handle)
then the unmap operation *must* complete in full. Otherwise the innocent
granter can be left with leaked grant entries for all time!
