x86/EISA: Use memremap() to probe for the EISA BIOS signature

Browse source

The area at the 0x0FFFD9 physical location in the PC memory space is
regular memory, traditionally ROM BIOS and more recently a copy of BIOS
code and data in RAM, write-protected.

Therefore use memremap() to get access to it rather than ioremap(),
avoiding issues in virtualization scenarios and complementing changes such
as commit f7750a7956 ("x86, mpparse, x86/acpi, x86/PCI, x86/dmi, SFI: Use
memremap() for RAM mappings") or commit 5997efb967 ("x86/boot: Use
memremap() to map the MPF and MPC data").
