I think doing IS_ERR() and PTR_ERR() on __iomem pointers is a natural
thing, and we should be able to do this without adding call-site
trickery to make sparse happy.

Is there some sort of annotation which we can add to the
IS_ERR()/PTR_ERR() definitions so that sparse will stop warning about
this usage?
