This patch fixes two sparse warnings

1. sparse complaining about the removal of __iomem address
space when casting the return value of this ioremap_cache(...)
from `void __ioremap*` to `void*`.
Fixed this by replacing the ioremap_cache(...)
by memremap(...) and using MEMREMAP_DEC and MEMREMAP_WB flag for
making
sure the memory is always decrypted and it will support full write back
cache.

2. sparse complaining `expected void volatile [noderef] __iomem *addr`
when calling iounmap with a non __iomem pointer.
Fixed this by replacing iounmap(...) with memumap(...).

Since Nischala has posted her more comprehensive patch,
this patch can be dropped. But see one comment below for
future reference.

v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/19cec6f0-e176-4bcc-95a0-9d6eb0261ed1@xxxxxxxxx/T/

v1 to v2:
1. Fixed the comment which was earlier describing ioremap_cache(...).
2. Replaced iounmap(...) with memremap(...) inside function hv_cpu_die(...).

This isn't the right style for multi-line patches. Correct would be:

/*
* Mask out vTOM bit.
* MEMREMAP_WB full write back cache
* MEMREMAP_DEC maps decrypted memory
*/

Section 8 of coding-style.rst under Documentation/process covers
these details. Note that the style is slightly different for code
under net and drivers/net.

Thanks a lot for taking a look and the suggestion, will keep this in mind in future patches.

Thanks,
