kmap() is designed for that, not ioremap(). Is it absolutely
essential that your mapping is uncached? If so, extending kmap() to
support kmap_nocache() would seem to make a lot more sense than using
ioremap(): kmap is there for temporarily poking around in high memory,
whereas ioremap is really intended to be used for persistent maps.
