Except the iopmem driver claims the PCI ID, and presents a block
interface which is really *NOT* what people who have asked for this in
the past have wanted. IIRC it was embedded stuff eg RDMA video
directly out of a capture card or a similar kind of thinking.
It is a good point about devm_memremap_pages limitations, but maybe
that just says to create a /sys/.../resource_dmableX ?
Or is there some reason why people want a filesystem on top of BAR
memory? That does not seem to have been covered yet..
