Humm... you can ignore my reply on that time, I later found that's not
correct :)

TIMER_OF would be selected by other configs and it seems not able to
depends on HAS_IOMEM, unless all configs which select TIMER_OF depend
on HAS_IOMEM, that would be a big change.

Actually HAS_IOMEM is set as default on other architectures, but not
for s390 which redefined it.

Ok, if I understand correctly, if io*map is not implemented for some
case, there should be a *compile-time* error rather than adding a stub
function to make this kind of errors disappeared.

Please correct me if I missed something.

Thanks,
