What I said in the PR was that you were passing emulcookie
(per-screen) instead of accesscookie (per-device) to methods that were
expecting the latter.

What was wrong in the change we are discussing is that you introduced
an extra argument to ioctl and mmap methods to pass a per-screen
cookie to them, but instead of emulcookie you passed some private
wsdisplay data.
