I dropped it because I got busy with other stuff. Feel free to pick it
back up. It looks like the part where I left off was where we had to
make the API fallback to mapping the memory as writeable if read-only
isn't supported on the architecture. I also wanted to return a const
pointer. The other weird thing was that we passed both MEMREMAP_RO and
MEMREMAP_WB to indicate what sort of fallback we want. Perhaps that can
be encoded in the architecture layer so that you get the closest thing
to read-only memory (i.e. any sort of write side caching is removed) and
you don't have to pass a fallback mapping type.

Here's my stash patch on top of the branch (from 2019!).
