First the simplest ones:
- iosys_map_memset(): when abstracting system and I/O memory,
just like the memcpy() use case, memset() also has dedicated
functions to be called for using IO memory.
- iosys_map_memcpy_from(): we may need to copy data from I/O
memory, not only to.
In certain situations it's useful to be able to read or write to an
offset that is calculated by having the memory layout given by a struct
declaration. Usually we are going to read/write a u8, u16, u32 or u64.
As a pre-requisite for the implementation, add iosys_map_memcpy_from()
to be the equivalent of iosys_map_memcpy_to(), but in the other
direction. Then add 2 pairs of macros:
- iosys_map_rd() / iosys_map_wr()
- iosys_map_rd_field() / iosys_map_wr_field()
The first pair takes the C-type and offset to read/write. The second
pair uses a struct describing the layout of the mapping in order to
calculate the offset and size being read/written.
We could use readb, readw, readl, readq and the write* counterparts,
however due to alignment issues this may not work on all architectures.
If alignment needs to be checked to call the right function, it's not
possible to decide at compile-time which function to call: so just leave
the decision to the memcpy function that will do exactly that.
Finally, in order to use the above macros with a map derived from
another, add another initializer: IOSYS_MAP_INIT_OFFSET().
v2:
- Rework IOSYS_MAP_INIT_OFFSET() so it doesn't rely on aliasing rules
within the union
- Add offset to both iosys_map_rd_field() and iosys_map_wr_field() to
allow the struct itself to be at an offset from the mapping
- Add documentation to iosys_map_rd_field() with example and expected
memory layout

Alphabetically sorted, please.
What requires kernel.h? Can this be reduced to another include
statement? Maybe stddef.h for offsetof() ?
Humn... I believe it was something in the previous implementation that
is not there anymore. Because this builds fine without the include now
and I don't think it is something being included by the headers already
here. So this additional include can just be removed.
