My complaint about the ioremap was just about the type of the mapping,
not something fundamental. Please just replace ioremap(addr, size) with
ioremap_flags(addr, size, _PAGE_NO_CACHE) in order to get a mapping without
the guarded bit.

If everyone else thinks that doing the ps3vram driver as an MTD rather than
a block device is acceptable, I have no further objections. Thanks for
following up on my other comments.
