[PATCH] UIO: Allow a UIO driver to override the default pgprot when we mmap

For some devices the default behavior of pgprot_noncached is not
the correct flags for the address space.  Provide a means for the
kernel side UIO driver to override the flags without having to
implement its own full mmap callback.
