The legacy infixes wont disappear without a substantial quantity of
cleanup and fixing in the P2M code.

The P2M and IOMMU code is in much too big of a mess to be cleaned up in
one release release cycle.  I specifically suggested the legacy infix so
we can get the new proper APIs in place and starting to be used, while
ensuring that we won't gain new users of the old interfaces.
