Glad you two asked! :)

I -do- want to use iomap. The problem is that no one has yet come up
with a few that does all the proper resource reservation. Everybody
(including myself) did the ioread/iowrite part, but gave up before
handling all cases of (a) legacy ISA iomap, (b) native PCI IDE iomap,
and (c) non-standard MMIO iomap.

This "works, but leaks resources" code exists in the 'iomap' branch of
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git

It languished in this incomplete stage for a while, but very recently
got moving again:

I actually made a promise to use iomap, since libata will benefit quite
a bit from ioread/iowrite usage. I intend to keep that promise... it's
just taking me a while to get us there. Now that I figured out the path
I want to take, we should get there around 2.6.1[56].
