Add flags to memremap() for MEMREMAP_EXEC and MEMREMAP_EXEC_NOCACHE
mappings. Mappings provided by these flags will both allow execution,
with MEMREMAP_EXEC_NOCACHE also requiring the memory to be mapped
non-cached. These mappings are useful for architectures that must map
on-chip memory such as SRAM and then copy and execute code from it, such
as code used to reconfigure system memory controllers or the low-level PM
code on ARM platforms.

Also add stubs for both underlying arch_memremap_exec/nocache calls that
return NULL so that if either is attempted from a platform cannot map
memory in such a way will fail.
