Nothing that I or Volker could think of without delaying 3.0.25 a lot.

It is ugly but works. Calls from parent directly down into
idmap_new_mapping() are really rare enough that I am comfortable with
it.

Rewriting winbindd getpw*/getgr* (exp if you think of netsetd groups)
calls to be fully async is a challenging task, doing that under release
pressure is not sane.

Simo.
