This documents the newly introduced ioremap_np() along with all the
other common ioremap() variants, and some higher-level abstractions
available.

I like this, I just want one change:

Put the common ioremap() on top in all paragraphs, so the norm
comes before the exceptions.

I.e. it is weird to mention ioremap_np() before mentioning ioremap().
+1 here. That is what I have stumbled upon reading carefully.
In that case, the order should probably be:

ioremap
ioremap_wc
ioremap_wt
ioremap_np
ioremap_uc
ioremap_cache

Going from most common to least common, rather than going from
strongest to weakest.
Yeah, I was dwelling on the issue of ioremap_np being first when I wrote 
that... this alternative works for me, I'll sort it like this then. 
It'll just need some re-wording to make it all flow properly.
