Ah, thanks. Also I missed sbusfb.c (not that it was fatal - the driver
got it right anyway).
Here's the current patch. After some discussion with Ben
Herrenschmidt, it now sets VM_IO against the vma *before*
calling the subdriver's mmap method, just in case the
driver really does want to clear that flag (presumably, a shadow
buffer in main memory).
