arch: introduce memremap()
Existing users of ioremap_cache() are mapping memory that is known in advance to not have i/o side effects. These users are forced to cast away the __iomem annotation, or otherwise neglect to fix the sparse errors thrown when dereferencing pointers to this memory. Provide memremap() as a non __iomem annotated ioremap_*() in the case when ioremap is otherwise a pointer to cacheable memory. Empirically, ioremap_<cacheable-type>() call sites are seeking memory-like semantics (e.g. speculative reads, and prefetching permitted). memremap() is a break from the ioremap implementation pattern of adding a new memremap_<type>() for each mapping type and having silent compatibility fall backs. Instead, the implementation defines flags that are passed to the central memremap() and if a mapping type is not supported by an arch memremap returns NULL. We introduce a memremap prototype as a trivial wrapper of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). Later, once all ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt() usage has been removed from drivers we teach archs to implement arch_memremap() with the ability to strictly enforce the mapping type.
