[RFC][PATCH 1/2] uio: allow drivers to override the pgprot for mmap

[Kumar Gala]

For some devices, the default behavior of pgprot_noncached() is not
appropriate for all of its mappable regions. This provides a means for
the kernel side of the UIO driver to override the flags without having
to implement its own full mmap callback.
