I saw in drivers/video/epson1356fb.c it was doing:
        // FIXME: shouldn't have to do this. If the pages are marked writeable,
        // the TLB fault handlers should set these.
        pgprot_val(vma->vm_page_prot) |= (_PAGE_DIRTY | _PAGE_VALID);

So I tried adding this before my io_remap_page_range() and it seems to
have fixed my problem. My mmap() write to a PCI device is working now.
I tried setting just the _PAGE_DIRTY bit and that seems to be the
trick. Any ideas why I would need do to this or what is going on?
