[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] igb_uio: fix mmap failure

[Ferruh Yigit <ferruh.yigit@intel.com>]

With kernels enabled CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option mmap the iomem area
to userspace fails:

EAL: pci_map_resource():
         cannot mmap(39, 0x7f1c51800000, 0x100000, 0x0):
         Invalid argument (0xffffffffffffffff)

As a workaround igb_uio can stop reserving PCI memory resources, from
kernel point of view io-memory region looks like idle and mmap works
again.

With this update device io-memory range is not protected against any
other kernel driver claim ownership on those resources, which shouldn't
be a problem for dpdk usage module.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
