iomap: make the default iomap functions fail softer
We used to BUG_ON() for a badly mapped IO port, which is certainly
correct, but actually made it harder to debug the case where the ATA
drivers had incorrectly mapped a nonconnected ATA port.
So make badly mapped ports trigger a WARN_ON(), and throw the IO away
instead (and return all ones for reads). For things like broken driver
initialization - which is the most likely cause anyway - that should
mean that the machine comes up and is usable (at least that was the case
for the ATA breakage that triggered this patch).
It tends to be a whole lot easier to do a "dmesg" on a working machine
than to try to capture logs off a dead one.
