Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] mtd: phram: Allow cached mappings

Currently phram always uses ioremap(), but this is unnecessary when
normal memory is used.  If the reserved-memory node does not specify the
no-map property, indicating it should be mapped as system RAM and
ioremap() cannot be used on it, use a cached mapping using
memremap(MEMREMAP_WB) instead.

On one of my systems this improves read performance by ~70%.
