Btw, what does that all-caps spelling "BOOT" denote? Something I'm
missing?

Right, the question will keep popping up why we can simply replace
memremap with ioremap and the general difference wrt to SME/SEV. So it
would be a good idea to have a comment in, say, arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c,
explaining the general situation.
