Currently, three types of mem regions are supported: UIO_MEM_PHYS,
UIO_MEM_LOGICAL and UIO_MEM_VIRTUAL. Among these UIO_MEM_PHYS helps
UIO driver export physcial memory to user space as non-cacheable
user memory. Typcially memory-mapped registers of a device are exported
to user space as UIO_MEM_PHYS type mem region. The UIO_MEM_PHYS type
is not useful if dma-capable devices are capable of maintaining coherency
with CPU caches becasue we can allow cacheable access to memory shared
between such devices and user space.

This patch adds new type UIO_MEM_PHYS_CACHE for mem regions to enable
cacheable access to physical memory from user space.

Please don't do code style cleanups in the same patch you are adding new
functionality.  I can't take this because of this, sorry.

Sure, I will separate out the patch for code style cleanups.
