mmap + segfaults on MPC8349E

[R. Ebersole (VTI - new)]

Dave,

Attached is the driver code that was in use when we had the problem.
(FPGA_orig.7z)

We think that we *may* have resolved the issue.
We have not, yet, completed testing the resolution, however.

Attached is the updated version of the driver (FPGArw.7z).
So far, this version appears OK when using mmap() without
MAP_FIXED.  We open() the device O_RDWR | O_SYNC.

We were going to switch to using pread(), pwrite(), and ioctl() to
access the FPGA's registers, but we are going to hold off on that
for now.
