I looked at adding support for permanent mappings but it was going to
take more time than I had. Also on ARM, we have to deal with kmap's
needs as well. Working that out was going to take more time than I
had. I think getting the patch in now to support early_ioremap is
the way to go. Adding support for permanent mappings can be done
later with the early console support for which it is needed.
