It boils down to finding a way to match a VA to a BAR resource so that
we can mirror on pci_iounmap() what's done in pci_iomap_range() (ie
check BAR resource flags to define how/if to unmap them), that would do
as a generic pci_iounmap() implementation.

In the pcim_* interface that looks easy to do, in the non-managed
case ideas welcome - at the end of the day the deal is having a way
to detect in a generic way what's behind a void __iomem *.
