The use of __force is generally a bad sign. Shouldn't the 'void *data' be a
'void __iomem *data'? And vpu->recv_buf should be 'struct share_obj __iomem *recv_buf;'.
Probably send_buf as well.

In other words, the __iomem attribute should be wired up correctly throughout the
driver code, and not forcibly applied in one place. That is asking for trouble in
the future. Also, sparse only works well in detecting problems if such attributes
are applied at the right level.
