1) Will add generic "arch_ioremap/arch_iounmap define"

2) and change this to vunmap((void *)vaddr);
I think this need an extra __force to actually suppress the sparse
warning, as in

vunmap((void __force *)vaddr);

Using __force is usually wrong, this is one of the exceptions, so
maybe add a comment
as well.
Right, I found this too, and  using  ___force in local, will update, thank.
