AFAIU, pci_iomap_range is the generic implementation and chooses to
use only minimal attributes that works on all the architectures.
The primary consumer of pci_iomap_range is virtio_pci driver,Which
doesn't care about HW PCI memory attributes like Prefetchable.

PCI perspective, memory attributes are Prefetchable and non-Prefetchable
for a given BAR.

Former one does have read side-effects or supports write
merging(typically used
by graphics memory) and latter one has read side effects and does not
support write merging(typically used by register files)

IMO, In armv8 nomenclature, MT_NORMAL_NC and MT_DEVICE_nGnRnE map
correctly to above PCI memory attribute definitions.

and pci-sysfs.c(consumer of pci_mmap_page_range)
creates the /sys/bus/pci/devices/B:D:F/resource[_wc]X file based
on BAR flag(Prefetchable or non-Prefetchable) and expose to userspace.
