In preparation for deprecating ioremap_cache() convert its usage in
intel-iommu to memremap.  This also eliminates the mishandling of the
__iomem annotation in the implementation.
I appreciate the change, but in the cover letter you write the API is
only implemented for x86 so far? The VT-d driver is also used on ia64,
will it still work there with this patch?
I did convert ia64 in the series [1]  but you're right this patch
can't go in independently of that conversion.  If you ack this one
I'll carry them in order.

Ah sorry, got ahead of myself ;-p.  You can safely take this patch
through your tree.  The ia64 patch can happen asynchronously because
kernel/memremap.c has:

__weak void *arch_memremap(resource_size_t offset, size_t size,
unsigned long flags)

...as a temporary fallback until the conversion is complete.
