Series is based on top of linux-next, where iomem_get_mapping exists.
This patch fixes the 2nd patch in this series, which I had to take out
of my branch because it failed.

Sorry, I meant the existing code in pci_create_sysfs_dev_files().

Hm not sure the attribute_groups works. The problem is that I cant set
up the attributes before the vfs layer is initialized, because before
that point the iomem_get_mapping function doesn't return anything
useful (well it crashes), because it needs to have an inode available.

So if you want to set up the attributes earlier, we'd need some kind
of callback, which Greg didn't like.

So I think I have yet another init ordering problem here, but not sure.
