Hmm, I don't see IO ports mentioned in include/linux/regmap.h, so I
don't think the regmap API directly supports it (maybe someone familiar
with regmap knows). Although we do get a virtual mapping cookie via
ioport_map() in this driver, I don't know if we can pass that to the
regmap functions and have it actually work.
