Re: [PATCH v2 2/4] asm-generic/io.h: Remove unused generic __ioremap() definition

Hi Bj=C3=B6rn,

Several arches use __ioremap() to help implement the generic ioremap(),
ioremap_nocache(), and ioremap_wc() interfaces, but this usage is all
inside the arch/ directory.

The only __ioremap() uses outside arch/ are in the ZorroII RAM disk drive=

r

and some framebuffer drivers that are only buildable on m68k and powerpc,
and they use the versions provided by those arches.

There's no need for a generic version of __ioremap(), so remove it.

These all predate the ioremap_*() variants, and can be converted to
either ioremap_nocache() or ioremap_wt().

However, PPC doesn't implement ioremap_wt() yet, so asm-generic will
fall back to the less-efficient nocache variant.
PPC does support __ioremap(..., _PAGE_WRITETHRU), so adding a wrapper
is trivial.
