SubjectRe: x86: Debug warning: early ioremap leak of 2 areas detected.

sidenote, is this failure normal:

?

the leaked ioremap seems to be:

hm, why does it say 2? I only see a single backtrace in the dmesg you
sent. ( Could you boot with ignore_loglevel to make sure you get all
printks to the log? )

Btw., did the bootup otherwise go fine? The typical nesting is at most 2
levels, and i've kept the max nesting at 4 so the typical 1-2 leaks
should have no functional/correctness aspect on the bootup, just that
warning message. Once we hit the 5th leaked ioremap we start rejecting
early_ioremap()s and that might result in boot failures.
