This patchset enables user space access to APM X-Gene QMTM
using UIO framework.

The patchset also introduces new type UIO_MEM_PHYS_CACHE
for mem regions because APM X-Gene QMTM device supports
cache coherency with CPU caches.
I haven't been able to review the patch in detail yet, but I have
a very high-level question: how do you decide which driver to use?

I understand that the normal use case is for the QMTM to be used by
the kernel directly rather than being exported to user space, and
that the network driver will just use it if it is there.
