It used to be true that we can have system RAM only on the first level

system RAM (i.e., dax/kmem and virtio-mem).
The function walk_mem_res() only consideres the first level and is
used in arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:__ioremap_check_mem() only. We currently
fail to identify System RAM added by dax/kmem and virtio-mem as
"IORES_MAP_SYSTEM_RAM", for example, allowing for remapping of such
"normal RAM" in __ioremap_caller().
Here I dunno, but consider to add Fixes tag if it fixes known bad behaviour.
Haven't observed it in the wild. We can add the same fixes tags as to
patch #1.
