Can you explain why early ioremap is necessary for you?

I wasn't aware that openrisc has it. In a lot of cases,
you can use fixmap as a replacement.

I think I commented before that asm-generic/io.h has a number of
problems and you should at least override the __raw_{read,write}{b,w,l,q}
functions with your own ones using inline assembly.

You should also define a non-NULL PCI_IOBASE.
