Arjan van de Ven e8de1481fd resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device drivers 
Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.

This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.

In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.
