[PULL 0/4] ARM support for generic memremap()

Hello Russell,

This is a straight rebase of version 3 of this patch series, which I posted
here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/484005. I have
attached the individual patches to this cover letter for reference.

Please pull for v4.7. I expect some of my UEFI work regarding memory
protection tables and the EFI framebuffer to land in the 4.7 timeframe as well,
and thise rely on memremap() to do the right thing if firmware tables happen
to reside in memory that is also covered by memblock/the linear mapping.

Thanks,
Ard.

  ARM: memremap: implement arch_memremap_wb() (2016-03-29 08:19:26 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
This series wires up the generic memremap() function in a way that allows it
to be used as intended, i.e., without regard for whether the region being
mapped is covered by a struct page and/or the linear mapping (lowmem)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Ard Biesheuvel (4):
  ARM: reintroduce ioremap_cached() for creating cached I/O mappings
  mtd: pxa2xx-flash: switch back from memremap to ioremap_cached
  memremap: add arch specific hook for MEMREMAP_WB mappings
