Ah, thanks, that makes sense to me finally!  After patch 4,
pci_remap_cfgspace() uses PROT_DEVICE_nGnRnE, which does look like the
MT_DEVICE_nGnRnE used in the ioremap_page_range() path.

I wonder if we can get rid of pgprot_device() altogether?  Patch 2
removed the use in pci_remap_iospace(), and patch 18 removes the use
in tegra_pcie_bus_alloc().
