OK, thanks. It's not clear from asm-generic/io.h that it's intended for
NOMMU systems only. Aside from the ioremap definition, everything in
that file should be applicable generically... or am I missing something?
On another note, looking at the definitions of ioread32/iowrite32, they
imply a little-endian bus. Some architectures (e.g. Microblaze) define
these to use host-native byte ordering instead. Is there a _correct_
way these functions should be defined?
