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);
}
