[Xie Shaohui] Yes, should not use sizeof(int).

>(Although it will only matter if it crosses a page boundary.) Mind you,

[Xie Shaohui] The original ioremap() did cover the entire structure, but the sysif_regs are not defined in dr_regs,
So regs of sysif_regs cannot be accessed as a member of a structure, current driver handle this by type casting, this did work in 32-bit, but in 64-bit, this is not safe. So I use ioremap() to cover it again.
