[PATCH v12 10/10] drivers/block/pmem: Map NVDIMM with ioremap_wt()

[Toshi Kani]

The pmem driver maps NVDIMM with ioremap_nocache() as we cannot
write back the contents of the CPU caches in case of a crash.

This patch changes to use ioremap_wt(), which provides uncached
writes but cached reads, for improving read performance.
