Yeap, the patch looks good. I got tunnel visioned while converting to
iomap and mechanically mapped IO BAR access to iomap. Thanks for
catching this. This is already fixed in #upstream while converting to
new-init-model (the code is in ata_pci_init_native_host() and does about
the same thing as your patch does), so I think this patch is only needed
for -stable. Cc'ing stable team. The original patch can be reached at...

Thanks.
