The /proc/bus/pci mmap interface allows the user to specify whether they
want WC or not. Don't let them do so on non-prefetchable BARs.

Can you explain this a little more? I understand that we usually want to use
WC mappings on prefetchable BARs, and uncached non-WC on
non-prefetchable, but why do we have to force an error here?

Couldn't there be some hardware that allows write-combining access
but no prefetches?

Note that this is only for the procfs interface. The sysfs interface
already imposes the same restriction by just *not* creating the
'resourceX_wc' attr when the resource isn't prefetchable. So this just
brings procfs into line.
