This change, in this form at least, breaks most of the non-MMU ColdFire targets.
Try compiling any of m5208evb, m5249evb, m5272c3, m5275evb, m5307c3 or
m5407c3 defconfigs and you get build failures. Targets that do not have
a PCI bus and so do not define IOMEMBASE will fail, which is most of them.

Maybe something like this might be better. I think this ends up giving you the
same result for 68000 nommu targets.
