VME driver patch for PowerPC

[Oliver Korpilla]

Hello!

Adding the patch below activated correct behaviour for vme_peek/poke, with
correct data width (tested VME_D8, VME_D16 and VME_D32), and without cache bursts.

It simply sets the cache-inhibited and guarded bits before remapping the pages
(these flags are PowerPC-specific, and the pci_mmap_page_range() function is
sadly no exported kernel symbol).

Would you again be so kind to run some "still works"-test on an Intel board?

Looks like a hack, but I guess it simply gets the job done... No need for a
larger rewrite here.

May take some time till I can again lay hands on a MVME5500 (PPC 7455 - 1Ghz) to
verify on another PPC board, though.

With kind regards,
Oliver Korpilla
