  /* Remap a not (necessarily) aligned port region */
void *short_remap(unsigned long phys_addr)
{
    /* The code comes mainly from arch/any/mm/ioremap.c */
    unsigned long offset, last_addr, size;

    last_addr = phys_addr + SHORT_NR_PORTS - 1;
    offset = phys_addr & ~PAGE_MASK;
    
    /* Adjust the begin and end to remap a full page */
    phys_addr &= PAGE_MASK;
    size = PAGE_ALIGN(last_addr) - phys_addr;
    return ioremap(phys_addr, size) + offset;
}

/* Unmap a region obtained with short_remap */
void short_unmap(void *virt_add)
{
    iounmap((void *)((unsigned long)virt_add & PAGE_MASK));
}

  Here Use ioremap to get a base address in the     
  region(0x3C000000-0x3CFFFFFF).
  Suppose ISA_BEGIN = 0x3C000000, ISA_END = 0x3CFFFFFF
  void *base;
  base = ioremap(ISA_BEGIN, ISA_END - ISA_BEGIN);
  base = base - ISA_BEGIN; /* offset */
  
  Use these base address to read and write the IO region.
