Split user/kernel drivers are common enough. Looks like maybe ~50
drivers in the kernel potentially are mmaping IO memory so would be
broken here.

Looking for pgprot_noncached() or pgprot_writecombine() around VMA
mappings is a pretty good clue it is working on IO memory.

I checked through the infiniband ones and they seem to be using
io_remap vs remap properly, but other places may need fixing.
