This seems a reasonable approach. Do you have a plan for this work? Or

I'm rather busy with other work at the moment, so no particular plans

I have noticed the kernel test robot reporting the following to me,
which seems to be the same issue which was addressed in this series
originally:

config: s390-randconfig-r032-20210802 (attached as .config)
compiler: clang version 13.0.0 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project
4f71f59bf3d9914188a11d0c41bedbb339d36ff5)
...
All errors (new ones prefixed by >>):

            val = __raw_readb(PCI_IOBASE + addr);

So I imagine lots of people are seeing these.

Right, this is the original problem that Niklas was trying to solve.

If Niklas has time to get this fixed, I can probably find a way to work
with him on finishing up my proposed patch with the changes you
suggested.

Sorry for the late reply, this got lost in my inbox. I could spare some
cycles on this but I'm not sure how I can help.

The series you sent after Linus' nacked the previous approach looks
quite broad touching lots of areas I have little experience with. I'd
be willing to test things and look over patches the best I can of
course.

Thanks,
Niklas
