Provides users with root-free access to the GPIO registers
on the 2835. Calling mmap(/dev/gpiomem) will map the GPIO
register page to the user's pointer.

* GPIO memory device driver

* Creates a chardev /dev/gpiomem which will provide user access to
* the BCM2835's GPIO registers when it is mmap()'d.
* No longer need root for user GPIO access, but without relaxing permissions
