I think only `CONFIG_PCI=n` and `CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP=y` cause pci_iounmap an empty
implementation. Actually, `CONFIG_PCI` is a default option when run `make defconfig`,
pci_iounmap() usually is acted as an extern function.

Here i am not sure this is the final implementation of pci_iounmap(),
because pci_iounmap() is re-implementated in many architectures.
Even so, i observed there still many call-sites of pci_iounmap() have reset
`the addr = NULL` after calling.
Can you have some ways to determine the actual implementation of
pci_iounmap in our cases?

Although the above codes is actually called, the addr might be freed
if `port >= PIO_RESERVED` is true. The double free still existed.



If I make any mistakes, please tell me.
Thanks your report.
