PCI BIOS requires the BIOS area 0x0A0000-0x0FFFFFF to be mapped W+X for various legacy reasons. When CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is enabled, this triggers the WX warning, but this is misleading because the mapping is required and is not a result of an accidental oversight. Prevent the full warning when PCI BIOS is enabled and the detected WX mapping is in the BIOS area. Just emit a pr_warn() which denotes the fact. This is partially duplicating the info which the PCI BIOS code emits when it maps the area as executable, but that info is not in the context of the WX checking output. Remove the extra %p printout in the WARN_ONCE() while at it. %pS is enough.

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.
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.
