[PATCHv4 1/3] ARM: mm: use MT_UNCACHED as the memory type for PCI I/O mappings

Arnd Bergmann explains: "The PCI I/O space semantics require
non-posted writes, which is the main difference between device and
strongly-ordered mappings."

This patch therefore changes the memory type used for PCI I/O mappings
from MT_DEVICE to MT_UNCACHED. On Marvell EBU platforms, it is part of
a workaround for a deadlock situation occuring on Armada 375/38x
between PCIe/PL310 and hardware I/O coherency in SMP situations.

As Arnd Bergmann indicates: "the same fix is required both for mvebu
as a workaround for the deadlock as well as for everyone else as a fix
for an incorrect PCI behavior."
