devm_memremap_pages() is currently used by the PCI P2PDMA code to create struct page mappings for IO memory. At present, these mappings are created with PAGE_KERNEL which implies setting the PAT bits to be WB. However, on x86, an mtrr register will typically override this and force the cache type to be UC-. In the case firmware doesn't set this register it is effectively WB and will typically result in a machine check exception when it's accessed. Other arches are not currently likely to function correctly seeing they don't have any MTRR registers to fall back on. To solve this, provide a way to specify the pgprot value explicitly to arch_add_memory(). Of the arches that support MEMORY_HOTPLUG: x86_64, and arm64 need a simple change to pass the pgprot_t down to their respective functions which set up the page tables. For x86_32, set the page tables explicitly using _set_memory_prot() (seeing they are already mapped). For ia64, s390 and sh, reject anything but PAGE_KERNEL settings -- this should be fine, for now, seeing these architectures don't support ZONE_DEVICE. A check in __add_pages() is also added to ensure the pgprot parameter was set for all arches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
