Subject: [PATCH 06/06] uio: Support multiple UIO_MEM_LOGICAL/VIRTUAL pages

From: Magnus Damm <damm@...l.co.jp>

This patch improves the UIO_MEM_LOGICAL and UIO_MEM_VIRTUAL page
fault code to support more than one page of data. Memory allocated
from the slab is however not supported, so a check for that is added
and the documentation gets a little update.
