[PATCH] virtiofs: Relax DAX window protection for ppc

[Fabiano Rosas]

When setting up the DAX window during the virtiofs driver probe inside
the guest, the Linux arch-specific function arch_add_memory is called,
which on ppc tries to do a cache flush [1] of the recently added
memory. At this point the window is mmap'ed PROT_NONE by QEMU, which
causes the following:

<snip>

The problem is the same for the memory device removal path
(e.g. during filesystem unmount).

Since powerpc expects the memory to be accessible during device
addition/removal, this patch makes the DAX window readable at creation
and after virtio-fs unmap.
