[PATCH 02/10] x86, PAT: ioremap to follow same PAT restrictions as other PAT users

From: Venkatesh Pallipadi
Date: Fri Jul 10 2009 - 13:00:42 EST


ioremap has this hard-coded check for new type and requested type. That
check differs from other PAT users like /dev/mem mmap, remap_pfn_range
in only one condition where requested type is UC_MINUS and new type
is WC. Under that condition, ioremap fails. But other PAT interfaces succeed
with a WC mapping.

Change to make ioremap be in sync with other PAT APIs and use the same
macro as others. Also changes the error print to KERN_ERR instead of
pr_debug.
