Perhaps this could be genericized to be a generic "Memory Map Userspace
IO Device" that takes a base address and a length in config (since those
are really the only things that are particular to my device/usage).
Could be enhanced to allow for additional maps, etc. or just serve as a
working example. Docs could then also simply refer to this as an example
of a device that uses the uio_pdrv driver.

Certainly these would belong in separate patches.
