Subject: x86/EISA: Don't probe EISA bus for Xen PV guests
From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrov...@oracle.com>
commit 6a92b11169a65b3f8cc512c75a252cbd0d096ba0 upstream.
For unprivileged Xen PV guests this is normal memory and ioremap will
not be able to properly map it.
While at it, since ioremap may return NULL, add a test for pointer's
validity.
