G4 + Linux + PCI device + x86 driver = 0

You should include <asm/io.h>. But virt_to_bus(), phys_to_virt(), and
their relatives, only apply to RAM.

Note that as a general principal of cross platform Linux programming,
the thing returned by ioremap is not a true pointer, and should only be
used with readl(), writel(), etc.

These are not your problem - the problem is most likely the device not
being enabled by the boot firmware. This may mean that 
(1) The PCI fixup code is broken on the G4s.
(2) The device has unusual startup requirements.
