This patch series implements a read-only version of memremap() via a new MEMREMAP_RO flag. If this is passed in the mapping call, we'll try to map the memory region as read-only if it doesn't intersect with an existing mapping. Otherwise, we'll try to fallback to other flags to try to map the memory that way. The main use case I have is to map the command-db memory region on Qualcomm devices with a read-only mapping. It's already a const marked pointer and the API returns const pointers as well, so this series makes sure that even stray writes can't modify the memory. To get there we introduce a devm version of memremap() for a reserved memory region, add a memremap() flag, and implement support for that flag on arm64.
