Hmm, so this function already does walk_system_ram_range() a bit
earlier and now on SEV systems we're going to do it again. Can we make
walk_system_ram_range() return a distinct value for SEV systems and act
accordingly in __ioremap_caller() instead of repeating the operation?

It looks to me like we could...
