ACPI: Page based coalescing of I/O remappings optimization
This patch optimizes ACPI MMIO remappings by keeping track of the
remappings on a PAGE_SIZE granularity.
When an ioremap() occurs, the underlying infrastructure works on a 'page'
based granularity. As such, an ioremap() request for 1 byte for example,
will end up mapping in an entire (PAGE_SIZE) page. Huang Ying took
advantage of this in commit 15651291a2f8c11e7e6a42d8bfde7a213ff13262 by
checking if subsequent ioremap() requests reside within any of the list's
existing remappings still in place, and if so, incrementing a reference
count on the existing mapping as opposed to performing another ioremap().
