Yeah, this change doesn't affect sfc. Because ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WC is used to
make ioremap_wc defined in <asm/io.h> override the default one in
<asm-generic/iomap.h>, this patch has made code have the same effect.

Besides, I have a question still in my mind. Surely this is unrelated to
this patch.

In commit 38d9029a652c (parisc: Define ioremap_uc and ioremap_wc),
ioremap_wc definition was added in arch/parisc/include/asm/io.h, and it
didn't add ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WC definition. However, it won't cause
redefinition of ioremap_wc, even though there's "#include <asm-generic/iomap.h>"
at below. I could be dizzy on these io.h and iomap.h.

When I added ioremap_wt and ioremap_np to debug, ioremap_np will
cause redefinition, while ioremap_wt woundn't. Does anyone know what
I am missing?
