Please wrap your message.

That doesn't work.  A pgprot_t contains more than just memory type
information.  It also contains access permissions.  In other words,
if the user requested read-only or a read-write mapping, the
permissions will be different.

If you always use your stored pgprot_t, then you will override the
users requested permissions.
