Thank you very much. However, it's better if only the memremap part is
hidden behind CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM. I'll send a patch tomorrow and have it
reach Linus at most on Wednesday.

There is actually nothing specific to CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM in them,
basically the functionality we want is remap_pfn_range but without a
VMA. However, it's for a niche use case where KVM guest memory is
mmap-ed from /dev/mem and it's okay if for now that part remains
disabled on s390.
