[PATCH 40/42]: ppc64: IOMMU: don't ioremap null pointers

[Linas Vepstas <linas@linas.org>]

240-ioremap-null-ptr-test.patch

Under highly unusual circumstances, a buggy driver will ask a null ptr to be
ioremapped, an operation that curently suceeds but leads to later trouble.
Instead, refuse to remap the null pointer.
