Ah, gotcha!
Yes, that would be neat. Would also allow for droping
ARCH_WANTS_GENERIC_PCI_IOUNMAP.

So, to be sure: m68k will use the generic iomem_is_ioport() despite
defining its own inb()?

I also think it can, because first arch/asm/io.h includes asm-
generic/io.h.
I was just wondering why many other functions in asm-generic/io.h
always define their own names..

It's obviously very hard to test which config will break, so I thought
it's better safe than sorry here
