access_process_vm device memory infrastructure
In order to be able to debug things like the X server and programs using
the PPC Cell SPUs, the debugger needs to be able to access device memory
through ptrace and /proc/pid/mem.
This patch:
Add the generic_access_phys access function and put the hooks in place
to allow access_process_vm to access device or PPC Cell SPU memory.
[riel@redhat.com: Add documentation for the vm_ops->access function]
