GHES is doing ioremap_page_range() in both NMI and irq context, neither are safe as it may sleep to allocate intermediate levels of page table. Replace the NMI/irq GHES_IOREMAP_PAGES to use a fixmap entry each. After this nothing uses ghes_ioremap_area or arch_apei_flush_tlb_one(), rip them out. RFC as I've only build-tested this on x86. For arm64 I've tested it on a software model. Any more testing would be welcome. These patches are based on rc7.
For the arm64 and APEI patches: Tested-by: Tyler Baicar <redacted> Verified on arm64. I no longer see the BUGs in the GHES code. Thanks!
