xen_remap() is used to establish mappings for frames not under direct
control of the kernel: for Xenstore and console ring pages, and for
grant pages of non-PV guests.
Today xen_remap() is defined to use ioremap() on x86 (doing uncached
mappings), and ioremap_cache() on Arm (doing cached mappings).
Uncached mappings for those use cases are bad for performance, so they
should be avoided if possible. As all use cases of xen_remap() don't
require uncached mappings (the mapped area is always physical RAM),
a mapping using the standard WB cache mode is fine.
As sparse is flagging some of the xen_remap() use cases to be not
appropriate for iomem(), as the result is not annotated with the
__iomem modifier, eliminate xen_remap() completely and replace all
use cases with memremap() specifying the MEMREMAP_WB caching mode.
xen_unmap() can be replaced with memunmap().
