Pet peeve. The word "check" is a poor one. I gives no sense of what
the function is checking and it gives no sense of how the function's
return value relates to the thing which it checks.
Maybe it returns 0 on success and -EINVAL on failure. Don't know!
Don't you think that better names would be io_remap_ok(),
io_remap_valid(), io_remap_allowed(), etc?
Will use arch_ioremap/unmap_allowed(), and I'd like to keep return bool
for now if there is no special requirements.
Other than that,

Thanks.
