This is used when mmapping the PCI resource* files in sys. Because ARM currently lacks an implementation of pgprot_device(), it falls back to pgprot_uncached() (Strongly Ordered), but we should be able to use Device memory instead. Doing this speeds up large writes to the resource files by about 40% on one of my systems. It also ensures that mmaps on these resources use the same memory type as ioremap().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
