But see a few comments below on naming for you to consider.

The naming here confused me - a name like:
fb_read_iomem() would have helped me more.
With the current naming I shall remember that the screen_base member is
the iomem pointer.

I looked around and could not find other places where
we copy from iomem to mem to usermem in chunks of PAGE_SIZE.

And fb_read_sysmem() here.
