This patch reworks the io-workaround and ioremap() functions to
use static keys for the activation of io-workaround.

When CONFIG_PPC_IO_WORKAROUNDS or CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_MMIO are not
selected, the I/O workaround ioremap() voids and the static key is
not used at all.

Why bother with the complex static key?  ioremap isn't exactly a fast
path.  Just make it a normal branch if enabled, with the option to
compile it out entirely as in your patch.
