Subject: [PATCH 3/5] uio: Remove unused uio_info mmap method.


There are no drivers in the kernel that implement the uio_info mmap
method there is no point in keeping it.

Further keeping the mmap method would necessiate wrapping all of the
methods in vm_operations_struct to successfully implement suppport
for hotunplugable hardware, and it I have yet to find a correct way to
wrap the the vm_operations_struct close method.
