ACPI: Clean up acpi_os_map/unmap_memory() to eliminate __iomem.
ACPICA doesn't include protections around address space checking, Linux
build tests always complain increased sparse warnings around ACPICA
internal acpi_os_map/unmap_memory() invocations. This patch tries to fix
this issue permanently.
There are 2 choices left for us to solve this issue:
1. Add __iomem address space awareness into ACPICA.
2. Remove sparse checker of __iomem from ACPICA source code.
This patch chooses solution 2, because:
1. Most of the acpi_os_map/unmap_memory() invocations are used for ACPICA.
table mappings, which in fact are not IO addresses.
2. The only IO addresses usage is for "system memory space" mapping code in:
drivers/acpi/acpica/exregion.c
drivers/acpi/acpica/evrgnini.c
drivers/acpi/acpica/exregion.c
The mapped address is accessed in the handler of "system memory space"
- acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler(). This function in fact can be
changed to invoke acpi_os_read...
