Thanks Dmitry. I think that any code that increments the refcount does so after looking for map in acpi_ioremap under acpi_ioremap_lock, and the process that drops the last reference removes map from the list, also under acpi_ioremap_lock, so I am not sure this could happen. The synchronize_rcu_expedited in acpi_os_map_cleanup should then take care of any other references to map (which it is my understanding require acpi_ioremap_lock or rcu read lock).
Thanks, Francesco
