I would like to split this up a bit more.

First patch could be adding include/linux/ioport.h. Then you can add
users for the resources, like for example some drivers you care of, just
enough to see how resources can be used. When we agree on this we can
convert the bulk of the drivers step by step. Getting rid of
dev->map_base would be the last step, but shouldn't be done in such a
huge patch.
