DMI cacheability is very confused on x86.
dmi_early_remap() uses early_ioremap(), which uses FIXMAP_PAGE_IO,
which is __PAGE_KERNEL_IO, which is __PAGE_KERNEL, which is cached.
Don't ask me why this makes any sense.
dmi_remap() uses ioremap(), which requests an uncached mapping.
However, on non-EFI systems, the DMI data generally lives between
0xf0000 and 0x100000, which is in the legacy ISA range, which
triggers a special case in the PAT code that overrides the cache
mode requested by ioremap() and forces a WB mapping.
On a UEFI boot, however, the DMI table can live at any physical
address. On my laptop, it's around 0x77dd0000. That's nowhere near
the legacy ISA range, so the ioremap() implicit uncached type is
honored and we end up with a UC- mapping.
UC- is a very, very slow way to read from main memory, so dmi_walk()
is likely to take much longer than necessary.
Given that, even on UEFI, we do early cached DMI reads, it seems
safe to just ask for cached access. Switch to ioremap_cache().
I haven't tried to benchmark this, but I'd guess it saves several
milliseconds of boot time.

This patch makes a couple of changes to the SMBIOS/DMI scanning
code so it can be used on other archs (such as ARM and arm64):
(a) wrap the calls to ioremap()/iounmap(), this allows the use of a
flavor of ioremap() more suitable for random unaligned access;
(b) allow the non-EFI fallback probe into hardcoded physical address
0xF0000 to be disabled.

Impact: section mismatch fix
Ingo reports these warnings:
> WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6a288e): Section mismatch in reference from
> the function dmi_alloc() to the function .init.text:extend_brk()
> The function dmi_alloc() references
> the function __init extend_brk().
> This is often because dmi_alloc lacks a __init annotation or the
> annotation of extend_brk is wrong.
dmi_alloc() is a static inline, and so should be immune to this
kind of error. But force it to be inlined and make it __init
anyway, just to be extra sure.
All of dmi_alloc()'s callers are already __init.

Impact: use new interface instead of previous ad hoc implementation
Use extend_brk() to allocate memory for DMI rather than having an
ad-hoc allocator.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
