Can we implement the generic pci_remap_cfgspace() in terms of ioremap_np()
if it is supported by the architecture? That way, we could avoid defining
both on arm64.

Good idea. It needs a fallback in case the ioremap_np() fails on most
architectures, but that sounds easy enough.

Since pci_remap_cfgspace() only has custom implementations, it sounds like
we can actually make the generic implementation unconditional in the end,
but that requires adding ioremap_np() on 32-bit as well, and I would keep
that separate from this series.

Sounds good; I'm adding a patch to adjust the generic implementation and remove the arm64 one in v4, and we can then complete the cleanup for other arches later.
