I had just commented in the other mail that you'd have to move
these functions to devres.c for the file to make sense, but that
I think the existing state is better.

Just to clarify again here: this patch does not seem to improve
anything to me, I'd much prefer leaving it the way it is, and
moving the pcim_iomap family to corresponding drivers/pci/iomap.c.
