I think these should be called memremap_exec() and similar.  Please
see the description of memremap() in kernel/memremap.c.  If you're
going to be executing code, the region must not have I/O side effects
and according to the new definition of memremap() vs ioremap(), the
memremap() interfaces fit better.

Please also get these reviewed by Dan Williams who provided the
memremap() API.

Thanks.
