I just saw that we already have an option like that, with a slightly different
name.

arch/s390/Kconfig contains

config NO_IOMEM
def_bool y

and lib/Kconfig contains

config HAS_IOMEM
boolean
depends on !NO_IOMEM
default y

You should probably just use one of these two to disable any driver that
uses ioremap or similar.
