[merged] virtio-pci-constify-ioreadx-iomem-argument-as-in-generic-implementation.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: virtio: pci: constify ioreadX() iomem argument (as in generic implementation)
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     virtio-pci-constify-ioreadx-iomem-argument-as-in-generic-implementation.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org>
Subject: virtio: pci: constify ioreadX() iomem argument (as in generic implementation)

The ioreadX() helpers have inconsistent interface.  On some architectures
void *__iomem address argument is a pointer to const, on some not.

Implementations of ioreadX() do not modify the memory under the address so
they can be converted to a "const" version for const-safety and
consistency among architectures.
