memremap: don't modify flags
These patches implement a MEMREMAP_WC flag for memremap(), which can be used to obtain writecombine mappings. This is then used for setting up dma_coherent_mem regions which use the DMA_MEMORY_MAP flag. The motivation is to fix an alignment fault on arm64, and the suggestion to implement MEMREMAP_WC for this case was made at [1]. That particular issue is handled in patch 4, which makes sure that the appropriate memset function is used when zeroing allocations mapped as IO memory. This patch (of 4): Don't modify the flags input argument to memremap(). MEMREMAP_WB is already a special case so we can check for it directly instead of clearing flag bits in each mapper.
