Ok, this changes the set of the operations performed under image[minor].mutex.
Before we had:

mutex_lock(&image[minor].mutex);
vme_master_mmap();
<some final adjustments>
mutex_unlock(&image[minor].mutex);

Now we have:

mutex_lock(&image[minor].mutex);
vme_master_mmap_prepare()
mutex_unlock(&image[minor].mutex);
vm_iomap_memory();
mutex_lock(&image[minor].mutex);
vme_user_vm_mapped(); // <some final adjustments>
mutex_unlock(&image[minor].mutex);

I think as long as image[minor] does not change while we are not
holding the mutex we should be safe, and looking at the code it seems
to be the case. But I'm not familiar with this driver and might be
wrong. Worth double-checking.
