On arm64, the 'pgprot_t' contains all of the non-address\nbits from the pte, including the permission controls, and so we end up\nreturning a new user mapping from ioremap_prot() which faults when\naccessed from the kernel on systems with PAN:\n\n  | Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address ffff80008ea89000\n  | ...\n  | Call trace:\n  |   __memcpy_fromio+0x80/0xf8\n  |   generic_access_phys+0x20c/0x2b8\n  |   __access_remote_vm+0x46c/0x5b8\n  |   access_remote_vm+0x18/0x30\n  |   environ_read+0x238/0x3e8\n  |   vfs_read+0xe4/0x2b0\n  |   ksys_read+0xcc/0x178\n  |   __arm64_sys_read+0x4c/0x68\n\nExtract only the memory type from the user 'pgprot_t' in ioremap_prot()\nand assert that we're being passed a user mapping, to protect us against\nany changes in future that may require additional handling.
