[PATCH] archs: add ioremap_change_write_prot

[Marco Stornelli]

From: Marco Stornelli <marco.stornelli@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds a new function called ioremap_change_write_prot.
Goal of this patch is to create a general function for all archs to be
able to change a write protection of a memory mapped area. x86
has already got a similar framework, so this function is only
a wrapper. Next target will be arm and powerpc. This function
will be used by Pramfs (see its latest review).
