There are 6 uses of this function in the entire kernel tree.
Why not just change them, remove the function and avoid this?
Sorry, I should have put some background in the description. We have
discussed if we can remove walk_iomem_res() in the thread below.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/23/248
But this may depend on how we deal with the last remaining caller,
walk_iomem_res() with "GART", being discussed in the thread below. I
will update according to the outcome.
