And now I see, I have (at least) two errors, one hiding the other.  In fact
my PCI device was _not_ happy with those addresses at all, (because they
were wrong, I botched the swapping) and also my code to check for this device's
unhappiness happened to be broken...

So, now I think ioremap is likely now working with this patch.

Thanks, and sorry for all the noise.

(still not sure about my problems with alloc_bootmem_pages, but
not too worried about it now.)
