I'm still puzzled with your series, it seems more churn than needed, and 
I still deeply dislike the approach where a function called 
arch_ioremap() says "Today I don't feel like doing the job so I return 
NULL and you'll do it for me"

In order to better illustrate what I have in mind as discussed 
previously, I have prepared a short RFC series based on your v3, taking 
into account the first two architectures (ARC and IA64) of your series, 
and also adding POWERPC architecture. I will send it out shortly.
