GENERIC_IOMAP or HAVE_GENERIC_IOMAP?

The latter doesn't even exist, except in
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt, so it cannot be selected.

Given the checks for __NDS32_EB__, NDS32 can be either big or little endian,
so you should have (excatly one of) CPU_BIG_ENDIAN or CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN set.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
