The way that ioread/iowrite are defined, they are required to be a superset
of what readl/writel do and can take __iomem pointers from either
ioremap() or ioport_map()/pci_iomap() style mappings, while readl/writel
are only required to work with ioremap().

There is no technical requirement to stick to one set or the other for
ioremap(), but the overhead of ioread/iowrite is also small enough
that it generally does not hurt.
