Your question is a linuxppc-embedded FAQ. User-land access is documented

in Denx's FAQ[1], and accessible through shorter URL[2]. For more 
information, please follow this thread[3] (not ppc specific actually).

In kernel land, ioremap() is all you need.

Don't forget to use the 'eieio' asm instruction if you want explicit 
I/O ordering.
