3.8.13.22 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas at arm.com>
commit 4f00130b70e5eee813cc7bc298e0f3fdf79673cc upstream.
This provides better performance compared to Device GRE and also allows
unaligned accesses. Such memory is intended to be used with standard RAM
(e.g. framebuffers) and not I/O.
