OK, fast search found these suspicious (not considering e.g. arch/):
$ find drivers/ -name '*.c' -exec grep -q pci.*iomap {} \; -a -exec grep -l
'\<readl\>' {} \+
drivers/firewire/fw-ohci.c
drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym_glue.c

How do you imagine a proper fix?
- move to ioreadX/iowriteX
or
- move back to ioremap (unlikely for the most)
or?
