powerpc: Punch a hole in /dev/mem for librtas

With CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, user space cannot read any part of /dev/mem.
Since this breaks librtas, punch a hole in /dev/mem to allow access to the
rmo_buffer that librtas needs.

Anton Blanchard reported the problem and helped with the fix.

A quick test for this patch:

       # cat /proc/rtas/rmo_buffer
       000000000f190000 10000

       # python -c "print 0x000000000f190000 / 0x10000"
       3865

       # dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo count=1 bs=64k skip=3865

       # dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo
