 /*
- * Temporarily use the virtual area starting from FIX_IO_APIC_BASE_END,
- * to map the target physical address. The problem is that set_fixmap()
- * provides a single page, and it is possible that the page is not
- * sufficient.
- * By using this area, we can map up to MAX_IO_APICS pages temporarily,
- * i.e. until the next __va_range() call.
- *
- * Important Safety Note:  The fixed I/O APIC page numbers are *subtracted*
- * from the fixed base.  That's why we start at FIX_IO_APIC_BASE_END and
- * count idx down while incrementing the phys address.
+ * This is just a simple wrapper around early_ioremap(),
+ * with sanity checks for phys == 0 and size == 0.
