Description
With 2 models as such:
class Place(models.Model):
    location = models.PointField()
class Hotel(Place):
    name = models.DateTimeField()
While I can import into Place using LayerMapping, when I try to import into Hotel:
mapping = {'name': 'name',
          'location': 'POINT'}
LayerMapping(Hotel, ds, mapping)
I get a:
LayerMapError: Geometry column does not exist for model
It seems like LayerMapping is disregarding model inheritance.

Confirmed using a different model set. Will try and fix this for 1.2.
