Ho hum...  I guess I'll rewrite the changelog:

The kernel interacts with each bare-metal IOAPIC with a special MMIO
page.  When running under KVM, the guest's IOAPICs are emulated by KVM.

When running as a TDX guest, the guest needs to mark each IOAPIC mapping
as "shared" with the host.  This ensures that TDX private protections
are not applied to the page, which allows the TDX host emulation to work.

Earlier patches in this series modified ioremap() so that
ioremap()-created mappings such as virtio will be marked as shared.
However, the IOAPIC code does not use ioremap() and instead uses the
fixmap mechanism.

Introduce a special fixmap helper just for the IOAPIC code.  Ensure that
it marks IOAPIC pages as "shared".  This replaces set_fixmap_nocache()
with __set_fixmap() since __set_fixmap() allows custom 'prot' values.

^ This seems like it could at least use a one-liner comment.
