Probably worth noting that whether or not this actually results in a
non-posted mapping depends on the system architecture, but this is the
best we can do, so:

I would personally prefer that drivers didn't have to care about this, and
ioremap on arm64 figured out the right attributes based on the region being
mapped, but I haven't followed the discussion closely so I won't die on that
hill.
