...with the caveat that I'm going to follow in behind this series with
generic ioremap_cache() enabling and converting pmem to use
persistent_copy() / persistent_sync() when the arch/cpu has persistent
memory synchronization instructions.  After the conversion
ioremap_wt() will still be there for the non-persistent_sync() capable
case.
