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().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
