Add a generic iomem abstraction to safely read and write ioremapped regions. This abstraction requires a previously acquired IoRequest instance. This makes it so that both the resource and the device match, or, in other words, that the resource is indeed a valid resource for a given bound device. A subsequent patch will add the ability to retrieve IoRequest instances from platform devices. The reads and writes are done through IoRaw, and are thus checked either at compile-time, if the size of the region is known at that point, or at runtime otherwise. Non-exclusive access to the underlying memory region is made possible to cater to cases where overlapped regions are unavoidable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
