AFAICT, NO_IOMEM only has a real purpose on UML these days. Could we take

According to current source code, tile still has chance to choose
NO_IOMEM, for me, welcome the tile's maintainer's ideas or suggestions.
I'm not really sure. It's true that on tile, if you don't enable PCI
support there's no other I/O memory (or I/O port) space you can use.
We pretty much always enable PCI support in our kernel, though. I'm
kind of surprised that other architectures don't also have the model
that IOMEM requires PCI, but perhaps most architectures just don't
encode that in the Kconfig file?
My observation is just that if I remove the "NO_IOMEM if !PCI" from
arch/tile/Kconfig, my build fails with ioremap() undefined. No doubt I
could work around that, but my assumption was that NO_IOMEM was exactly the
right thing to express the fact that without PCI there is no I/O memory :-)
