Subject: [GIT PULL] memremap fix for 4.3 (v2)

Hi Linus, please pull from...

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes

...to receive a reworked version of the memremap highmem fix.  The
change since v1 is dropping the kmap fallback.

---

The new memremap() api introduced in the 4.3 cycle to unify/replace
ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt() is mishandling the highmem case.  This
patch has received a build success notification from a 0day-kbuild-robot
run and has received an ack from Ard.

The following changes since commit 25cb62b76430a91cc6195f902e61c2cb84ade622:

    memremap: fix highmem support
    
    Currently memremap checks if the range is "System RAM" and returns the
    kernel linear address.  This is broken for highmem platforms where a
    range may be "System RAM", but is not part of the kernel linear mapping.
    Fallback to ioremap_cache() in these cases, to let the arch code attempt
    to handle it.
    
    Note that ARM ioremap will WARN when attempting to remap ram, and in
    that case the caller needs to be fixed.  For this reason, existing
    ioremap_cache() usages for ARM are already trained to avoid attempts to
    remap ram.
    
    The impact of this bug is low for now since the pmem driver is the only
    user of memremap(), but this is important to fix before more conversions
    to memremap arrive in 4.4.
