H A Dioremap.cdiff 28b2ee20c7cba812b6f2ccf6d722cf86d00a84dc Thu Jul 24 06:27:05 CEST 2008 Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> 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.
