powerpc: Punch a hole in /dev/mem for librtas
With CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, user space cannot read any part of /dev/mem.
Since this breaks librtas, punch a hole in /dev/mem to allow access to the
rmo_buffer that librtas needs.
Anton Blanchard reported the problem and helped with the fix.
A quick test for this patch:
# cat /proc/rtas/rmo_buffer
000000000f190000 10000
# python -c "print 0x000000000f190000 / 0x10000"
3865
# dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo count=1 bs=64k skip=3865
