Yes, I think it makes a lot of sense on powerpc at least, since doing so will
set the PAGE_GUARDED bit as well, and we obviously want to avoid any
out-of-order access of I/O memory.

(I don't see the reason to force the VM_RESERVED and VM_IO on the vma though,
since remap_pfn_range will do it anyway.)

I'll merge that bit, thanks.
