powerpc/pci: mmap anonymous memory when legacy_mem doesn't exist
The new legacy_mem file in sysfs is causing problems with X on machines
that don't support legacy memory access. The way I initially implemented
it, we would fail with -ENXIO when trying to mmap it, thus exposing to
X that we do support the API but there is no legacy memory.
Unfortunately, X poor error handling is causing it to fail to start when
it gets this error.
This implements a workaround hack that instead maps anonymous memory
instead (using shmem if VM_SHARED is set, just like /dev/zero does).
