I don't think any of this matters.  It turns out that even
the 2.6.26 kernel fails on an identical board with a newer
revision of the 8347 chip.  I'm sure that the problem is
that the Coral-P fails when mapped to 0 (PCI relative).

I couldn't find another reliable way to get the Coral-P assigned
an address other than 0, so I'm happy accepting the work around
of allowing the kernel to map those windows, even if it's not
necessary.

For completeness, here are the values you asked for:
pcilawbar0     : 0xc0000000  -1073741824
pcilawar       : 0x8000001b  -2147483621
pcilawbar1     : 0xb8000000  -1207959552
pcilawar1      : 0x80000013  -2147483629
