Michael J. Ruhl e0b3e0b1a0 io-mapping: indicate mapping failure 
The !ATOMIC_IOMAP version of io_maping_init_wc will always return
success, even when the ioremap fails.

Since the ATOMIC_IOMAP version returns NULL when the init fails, and
callers check for a NULL return on error this is unexpected.

During a device probe, where the ioremap failed, a crash can look like
this:

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000210000
     #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
     #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
     Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
     CPU: 0 PID: 177 Comm:
     RIP: 0010:fill_page_dma [i915]
       gen8_ppgtt_create [i915]
       i915_ppgtt_create [i915]
       intel_gt_init [i915]
       i915_gem_init [i915]
       i915_driver_probe [i915]
       pci_device_probe
       really_probe
       driver_probe_device

The remap failure occurred much earlier in the probe.  If it had been
propagated, the driver would have exited with an error.

Return NULL on ioremap failure.

README 

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.
