Would we need a new function? Couldn't we just have a new
FIXMAP_PAGE_* constant? e.g. would something like this work?

enum memremap_owner {

};

void __init *
early_memremap(resource_size_t phys_addr, unsigned long size,

	switch (owner) {

	case KERNEL_DATA:	/* FALLTHROUGH */
	default:
		prot = FIXMAP_PAGE_NORMAL;
		
	}

	return (__force void *)__early_ioremap(phys_addr, size, prot);
}
Although it occurs to me that if there's a trivial 1:1 mapping between
memremap_owner and FIXMAP_PAGE_* we might as well just add a new
early_memremap_boot() that uses the correct FIXMAP_PAGE_* constant,
akin to early_memremap_ro().
