This is exactly like vm_insert_pfn, except that it allows drivers to to override pgprot on a per-page basis.
This only makes sense for IO mappings, and it makes no sense for cow mappings. In general, using multiple vmas is preferable; vm_insert_pfn_prot should only be used if using multiple VMAs is impractical.
