If ret variable is really needed?

If ioremap_allowed() returns a valid pointer, then the function name
is not as precise anymore.

It is probably just me, but the base name bit misleading here.

I guess, iounmap_allowed() should accept void __iomem *, not void *.
Then addr needs to be passed to iounmap_allowed() not vaddr.
