Subject: [PATCH] NOMMU: allow private mappings of read-only devices

From: Bernd Schmidt <bernds_cb1@...nline.de>

Slightly rearrange the logic that determines capabilities and vm_flags.
Disable BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT in all cases if the device can't support the
protections.  Allow private readonly mappings of readonly backing devices.
