Hi, Presently, the 64bit IO functions are not very usable in drivers because they are not universally available in all architectures. This leads to a bunch of hacks in the kernel to work around this. (See the last 3 patches in this series.) As part of my switchtec_ntb submission which added another one of these warts, Greg asked me to look into fixing it[1]. So this patchset attempts to solve this issue by filling in the missing implementations in iomap.c and io.h. After that, the alpha architecture is the only one I found that also needed a fix for this. Finally, this patchset removes the hacks that have accumulated in the kernel, thus far, for working around this. This set is based off of v4.12-rc6.
