Subject: [PATCH v2 28/31] io-mapping.txt: standardize document format

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- Add a title for the document and for API chapter;
- mark literal blocks;
- Adjust whitespacing.

+The io_mapping functions
+========================

+API
+===
+
 The io_mapping functions in linux/io-mapping.h provide an abstraction for
 efficiently mapping small regions of an I/O device to the CPU. The initial
 usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where
 ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU
 as it would consume too much of the kernel address space.

 With this mapping object, individual pages can be mapped either atomically
 or not, depending on the necessary scheduling environment. Of course, atomic

 If you need to sleep while holding the lock, you can use the non-atomic
 variant, although they may be significantly slower.
