Greg - you are listed as the maintainer for this driver.  Can you either
point me to someone who can review this patch or review it yourself?  
Looking at the code, it looks like it's possible that the driver writer
wanted this code patch to be able to be taken if it got IO resources
and not MEM resources, and if they didn't there's other cleanups that
should be done for the no iomem case.

Thanks,
Kristen
