powerpc ioremap_prot
This adds ioremap_prot and pte_pgprot() so that one can extract protection
bits from a PTE and use them to ioremap_prot() (in order to support ptrace
of VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP as per Rik's patch).
This moves a couple of flag checks around in the ioremap implementations
of arch/powerpc. There's a side effect of allowing non-cacheable and
non-guarded mappings on ppc32 which before would always have _PAGE_GUARDED
set whenever _PAGE_NO_CACHE is.
(standard ioremap will still set _PAGE_GUARDED, but ioremap_prot will be
capable of setting such a non guarded mapping).
