If this is a fix to patches that haven't been merged yet, we need to
squash the fix into the patches.

The object is not to make patches as small as possible.  The object is
to make them easy to review, merge, bisect, revert, and backport.  If
we're adding something new and it's called by many arches or many
drivers, we might have to split it up for merging through several
trees or so we can revert pieces independently.  But here there's only
one caller and I don't think we get any benefit from splitting it.

But I guess this is all moot since it should be squashed into whatever
added the pci_remap_iospace() in the first place.
