ARM64 currently defaults to posted MMIO (nGnRnE), but some devices
require the use of non-posted MMIO (nGnRE). Introduce a new ioremap()
variant to handle this case. ioremap_np() is aliased to ioremap() by
default on arches that do not implement this variant.

sparc64 is the only architecture that needs to be touched directly,
because it includes neither of the generic io.h or iomap.h headers.

This adds the IORESOURCE_MEM_NONPOSTED flag, which maps to this
variant and marks a given resource as requiring non-posted mappings.
This is implemented in the resource system because it is a SoC-level
requirement, so existing drivers do not need special-case code to pick
this ioremap variant.

Then this is implemented in devres by introducing devm_ioremap_np(),
and making devm_ioremap_resource() automatically select this variant
when the resource has the IORESOURCE_MEM_NONPOSTED flag set.
