Subject: [PATCH 1/1][v2] Enable CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM support for Powerpc.

As described in the help text in the patch, this token restricts general
access to /dev/mem as a way of increasing security. Specifically, access
to exclusive IOMEM and kernel RAM is denied unless CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is
set to 'n'.

Implement the 'devmem_is_allowed()' interface for POWER. It will be
called from range_is_allowed() when userpsace attempts to access /dev/mem.

This patch is based on an earlier patch from Steve Best and with input from
Paul Mackerras.

A test for this patch:

	# cat /proc/rtas/rmo_buffer 
	000000000f190000 10000

	# python -c "print 0x000000000f190000 / 0x10000"
	3865

	# dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo count=1 bs=64k skip=3865
	1+0 records in
	1+0 records out
	65536 bytes (66 kB) copied, 0.000205235 s, 319 MB/s

	# dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo count=1 bs=64k skip=3864
	dd: reading `/dev/mem': Operation not permitted
	0+0 records in
	0+0 records out
	0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.000226844 s, 0.0 kB/s

	# dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo count=1 bs=64k skip=3866
	dd: reading `/dev/mem': Operation not permitted
	0+0 records in
	0+0 records out
	0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.00023542 s, 0.0 kB/s

	# dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo
	dd: reading `/dev/mem': Operation not permitted
	0+0 records in
	0+0 records out
	0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.00022519 s, 0.0 kB/s

Changelog[v2]:
	- [Anton Blanchard] Punch a hole in devmem to allow librtas/dlpar
	  tools access to /dev/mem.
