This patch series is all about adding that replacement.
But yes, as a general point of principle, the replacement should be
in place before the old stuff is pulled out. I don't see any reason
why that can't be the case, because __arm_ioremap() can be rigged up
to use the static mappings first, and then the individual platform
interception of ioremap() can be removed afterwards.
