[PATCH V2] powerpc/infiniband: Use cache inhibitted and guarded mapping on powerpc

The driver was requesting for a writethrough mapping. But with thoses
flags we will end up with a SAO mapping because we now have memory
conherence always enabled. ie, the existing mapping will end up with
a WIMG value 0b1110 which is Strong Access Order.

Update this to use cache inhibitted guarded mapping

Changes from v1:
* resend because V1 never reached mailing list.

NOTE: This is only compile tested and I am also not sure why ppc64 needs special handling.
We need this patch because the series at http://mid.gmane.org/1460182444-2468-1-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com
will drop _PAGE_WRITETHRU
