Hum ... Chris tested it on a T2080RDB, that must be a book3e.

So we missed it. I guess your fix is right.

Well, I don't think the order of defines matters, the change should be kept out of the fix.
But if you want it anyway, then I'd suggest to move it before IOREMAP_BASE in order to keep the 3 
IOREMAP_xxx together.
