Add a UIO memtype specifically for sharing dma_alloc_coherent

This is mainly for the bnx2/bnx2x/bnx2i "cnic" interface, although there
are a few other uio drivers which map dma_alloc_coherent memory and will
be converted to use dma_mmap_coherent as well.

So on 32bit systems phys_addr_t != the same size as (void *)? How is
that possible? We also are doing an explicit cast here, how does this
not work?
phys_addr_t is not always equivalent to the size of a pointer.
PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is a configuration option, after all, and it
is independent of "config 64BIT".
Ah, do you have CONFIG_X86_PAE enabled? That would cause that mess,
ick.

Caused by this patch and "uio_dmem_genirq: UIO_MEM_DMA_COHERENT conversion" as well
as "uio_pruss: UIO_MEM_DMA_COHERENT conversion".
I'd suggest to make uio dependent on 64 bit if 32 bit is no longer supported
to prevent waste of test builds resources.
Perhaps disable it if PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is not enabled?
i386:allyesconfig sets
CONFIG_X86_HAVE_PAE=y
CONFIG_X86_PAE=y
CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT=y
so that would not really help. The problem here is that this is a 32-bit build,
meaning pointers are 32 bit, while phys_addr_t is 64 bit. I did not check the
code, but it will simply not work if the pointer is supposed to reflect a
physical address. The new dependency would have to check if sizeof(void *) is
larger or equal to sizeof(phys_addr_t). Even then the code would need a double
cast since it is also possible that sizeof(void *) > sizeof(phys_addr_t).
