Ack...that's the one thing we are missing. :-/ I had forgotten
that driver/char/mem.c  calls remap_pfn_range() directly rather
than io_remap_page_range(). Had it called the latter, we'd be OK
since the "bigphys" fixup could take place.  We can fix /dev/mem to
call io_remap_page_range() when on ppc32 && 36-bit phys...other arches
do similar tricks in that driver.

If everybody is happy with mmaping /dev/mem then we can go try that
route.
