This is kind of unappealing -- is there no way to make
io_remap_pfn_range do the right thing under Xen?  It seems unfortunate
to make drivers both set VM_IO and call io_remap_pfn_range.  Or maybe we
should get rid of io_remap_pfn_range() and just have drivers set VM_IO
and call remap_pfn_range() all the time?

There are quite a few drivers under drivers/infiniband/hw that call
io_remap_pfn_range() -- presumably they all need the analogous fix?

Finally as a stylistic thing I would probably prefer to see the
vm_page_prot manipulation written as

        vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_noncached(vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags));

and if this fix is really the right thing to do, this should probably be
wrapped up in a helper function; presumably every instance of

        vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_FOO(vma->vm_page_prot)

under drivers/ would need the same fix for Xen.

 - R.
