ioremap() checks if a target range is in RAM and fails the request
if true. There are multiple issues in the iormap RAM check interfaces.
1. region_is_ram() always fails with -1.
2. The check calls two functions, region_is_ram() and
walk_system_ram_range(), which are redundant as both walk the
same iomem_resource table.
3. walk_system_ram_range() requires RAM ranges be page-aligned in
the iomem_resource table to work properly. This restriction
has allowed multiple ioremaps to RAM which are page-unaligned.
This patchset solves issue 1 and 2. It does not address issue 3,
but continues to allow the existing ioremaps to work until it is
addressed.
