Subject: [PATCH v7 04/13] PCI: Deprecate two surplus devres functions

pcim_iomap_table() should not be used anymore because it contributed to
the PCI devres API being designed contrary to devres's design goals.

pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() is a surplus, complicated function
that can easily be replaced by using a pcim_* request function in
combination with a pcim_* mapping function.

Mark pcim_iomap_table() and pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() as
deprecated in the function documentation.
