Recently, I've found cases in which ioremap_page_range was used
incorrectly, in external modules, leading to crashes. This can be
partly attributed to the fact that ioremap_page_range is lower-level,
with fewer protections, as compared to the other functions that an
external module would typically call. Those include:
ioremap_cache
ioremap_nocache
ioremap_prot
ioremap_uc
ioremap_wc
ioremap_wt
...each of which wraps __ioremap_caller, which in turn provides a safer
way to achieve the mapping.
Therefore, stop EXPORT-ing ioremap_page_range.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
