placing of ioremap ?

I have one question regarding the placing of ioremap call
suppose i have done ioremap call inside the mm/init.c
for pci i/o or memory space ..and if this space is above
the ioremap_base i would be having the virtual address
equal to physical address

now i don't need to call ioremap inside the driver code
since the resources (either pci i/o or memory or both) that
i am supposed to give a particular card has already been
ioremapped by now
in case my bios has not done the resource allocation
i have to just write the proper values in PCI_BASE_ADDRESS
registers of that pci card. Am I Correct?

Well, you really shouldn't.......The PCI I/O space could be
done there so the usual inb/outb and friends work.  PCI memory
space should not be mapped there, it is done by the driver.

You should include the Linux PCI auto config function.  It will
do this plus properly assign the interrupts.
