Sure, that works for me, though maybe BOOT_DATA would be more
applicable considering the devicetree case too.

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 {
	KERNEL_DATA = 0,
	BOOT_DATA,
};

void __init *
early_memremap(resource_size_t phys_addr, unsigned long size,
	       enum memremap_owner owner)
{
	pgprot_t prot;

	switch (owner) {
	case BOOT_DATA:
		prot = FIXMAP_PAGE_BOOT;
		break;
	case KERNEL_DATA:	/* FALLTHROUGH */
	default:
		prot = FIXMAP_PAGE_NORMAL;
		
	}

	return (__force void *)__early_ioremap(phys_addr, size, prot);
}
