Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] memremap: Add support for read-only memory mappings

Sometimes we have memories that are supposed to be read-only, but when
we map these regions the best we can do is map them as write-back with
MEMREMAP_WB. Introduce a read-only memory mapping (MEMREMAP_RO) that
allows us to map reserved memory regions as read-only. This way, we're
less likely to see these special memory regions become corrupted by
stray writes to them.
