It has to be a preprocessor conditional because PROT_DEVICE_nGnRnE
is only defined on arm64. We could add a FIXMAP_PAGE_NONPOSTED
alias for it that defaults to FIXMAP_PAGE_IO, but in the end this is
really an architecture specific thing and I think leaving it guarded by
the architecture is appropriate.

__set_fixmap() has no return value, it just writes a page table entry and
does not fail.
