Accessing IO space via resources

[Michel Lanners]

Hi all,

On  23 Jun, this message from To: linuxppc-dev at lists.linuxppc.org echoed through cyberspace:

After investigating this, it turns out that early in the boot process,
before the mm system is up, ioremap returns virt == phys for
addresses >= ioremap_base. ioremap_base got changed from 0xf8000000 to
0xf0000000 in recent kernels. Anybody kow why this got changed?

Obviously, the PCI IO space was above ioremap_base before, but is below
now...
