Sometimes we have memories that are supposed to be read-only, but when
we map these regions the best we can do is map them as write-back with
MEMREMAP_WB. Introduce a read-only memory mapping (MEMREMAP_RO) that
allows us to map reserved memory regions as read-only. This way, we're
less likely to see these special memory regions become corrupted by
stray writes to them.

This function seems a little confused about whether 'flags' is really a
bitmap of flags, or whether it is equal to exactly one entry in the enum.
Given that I think it's sensible for somebody to specify 'MEMREMAP_RO |
MEMREMAP_WT', then we probably need to start checking these things a bit
more thoroughly so we can reject unsupported combinations at the very least.

I'm also confused about the same thing. I thought it was a "getting
worse via best effort" type of thing based on the comment above the
function.

 * In the case of multiple flags, the different
 * mapping types will be attempted in the order listed below until one of
 * them succeeds.

(I now realize I should have documented the new flag so that this order
would be known. I'll resend this series again with the documentation
fix.)

I also thought that the combination of read-only and write through would
be OK because the flags are more of a best effort approach to making a
mapping. Given that, is there anything to reject? Or do we just keep
trying until we can't try anymore?
