Well map_io can also be set in DT_MACHINE_START. For most part
it already is generic like omap3_map_io and omap4_map_io.
So that should not stop anything.

Hmm maybe take a look again? We've already sorted out quite a bit
of the init stuff over past few merge windows. If there's still
something blocking that, let's clear it out ASAP.

Yes that's better. We should only need a separate DT_MACHINE_START
for major SoC variants.
