I am worried it will impact ioremap_prot(). Arc has selected
HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT in Kconfig. Putting arc_uncached_addr_space() calling
into arch_ioremap() will change ioremap_prot(), right?

And I have the same about xtensa. You can see ioremap() and
ioremap_cache() will return different value since they take
XCHAL_KIO_BYPASS_VADDR and XCHAL_KIO_CACHED_VADDR differently. I haven't
figured out a way to handle them in arch_ioremap() differently.

static inline void __iomem *ioremap(unsigned long offset, unsigned long size)
{
        if (offset >= XCHAL_KIO_PADDR
            && offset - XCHAL_KIO_PADDR < XCHAL_KIO_SIZE)
                return (void*)(offset-XCHAL_KIO_PADDR+XCHAL_KIO_BYPASS_VADDR);
        else
                return xtensa_ioremap_nocache(offset, size);
}

static inline void __iomem *ioremap_cache(unsigned long offset,
                unsigned long size)
{
        if (offset >= XCHAL_KIO_PADDR
            && offset - XCHAL_KIO_PADDR < XCHAL_KIO_SIZE)
                return (void*)(offset-XCHAL_KIO_PADDR+XCHAL_KIO_CACHED_VADDR);
        else
                return xtensa_ioremap_cache(offset, size);
}
