This looks odd. What are we actually doing here?

It seems that we want to map that PCI BAR. Since we're playing with PAGE_MASK 
I assume the BAR always has a length <PAGE_SIZE, else we would get page 
aligned memory anyway. If that's true something like

mem_ptr = pci_iomap(pci_dev, bar, 0)

should do the trick. Later we would do

pci_iounmap(pci_dev, mem_ptr)

This whole ioremap_ptr stuff can go away at all. Am I right? Then I'll cook up 
a patch soon.
