Done. It doesn't report anything for me, so _hopefully_ the GHES
driver is the only one that does games like this. See commit
b39ab98e2f47 ("Mark 'ioremap_page_range()' as possibly sleeping").

So now it should hopefully warn about this bad usage of page remapping
reliably, at least if you have CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled.

Can somebody who has a working GHES setup (although Borislav seems to
think no such thing exists) verify?

This obviously won't _fix_ anything, but at least it should make it
clear it's not that recent change that broke things - that just
happened to expose it. And hopefully somebody who knows that driver
will do the proper fixmap thing (or just ioremap once at probe time,
rather than at run-time).
