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).
