Michael Holzheu b2a68c2356 s390: allow absolute memory access for /dev/mem
Currently dev/mem for s390 provides only real memory access. This means
that the CPU prefix pages are swapped. The prefix swap for real memory
works as follows:

Each CPU owns a prefix register that points to a page aligned memory
location "P". If this CPU accesses the address range [0,0x1fff], it is
translated by the hardware to [P,P+0x1fff]. Accordingly if this CPU
accesses the address range [P,P+0x1fff], it is translated by the hardware
to [0,0x1fff].  Therefore, if [P,P+0x1fff] or [0,0x1fff] is read from
the current /dev/mem device, the incorrectly swapped memory content is
returned.

With this patch the /dev/mem architecture code is modified to provide
absolute memory access. This is done via the arch specific functions
xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr(). For swapped pages on
s390 the function xlate_dev_mem_ptr() now returns a new buffer with a
copy of the requested absolute memory. In case the buffer was allocated,
the unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function frees it after /dev/mem code has
called copy_to_user().
