Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Switch GHES ioremap_page_range() to use fixmap

GHES is doing ioremap_page_range() in both NMI and irq context, neither
are safe as it may sleep to allocate intermediate levels of page table.

Replace the NMI/irq GHES_IOREMAP_PAGES to use a fixmap entry each.

After this nothing uses ghes_ioremap_area or arch_apei_flush_tlb_one(),
rip them out.

This hasn't been tested on a system with x86's NOTIFY_NMI. Any more
more testing would be welcome. These patches are (still) based on rc7.

Changes since RFC:
 * Added #ifdefs around the entries in fixmap.h
 * Added a paragraph about HAVE_ACPI_APEI to the commit message
 * Merged the first three patches for improved history

I've tried to be clear with who-acked-what when merging the patches.
For reference, the arch-acks are here:
