Subject: [PATCH][ATM] iphase: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context

	iphase driver calls ioremap under spinlock_irqsave in his
initialization function. The spinlock seems to be there just for the 
sole purpose of preventing initializing multiple cards at once. So I 
think that removing it should be fine.
