Just as last time:  This does not make any sense.  ioremap is shared

It's not necessarily shared with the host for confidential computing: for
example BIOS mappings definitely should not be shared, but they're using
ioremap today.
That just needs to be fixed.

But if you have a better term please propose something. I tried to clarify
it with "shared_host", but I don't know a better term.

The reason we have trouble is that it's not clear what does the API mean
outside the realm of TDX.
If we really, truly want an API that says "ioremap and it's a hardened
driver" then I guess ioremap_hardened_driver is what you want.
