The Software Service Register (SWSR) is 16-bit wide. Unsigned int on the 8270 
is 32-bit wide.

You must not reference physical addresses directly after the MMU has been 
turned on. Use ioremap/iounmap to map/unmaap the CPM registers. If you're 
using ARCH=ppc, you can also use the global CPM mapping cpm2_immr.

Use the out_* macros/functions to write to I/O space.

out_be16(&cpm2_immr->im_siu_conf.siu_82xx.sc_swsr, 0x556c);
out_be16(&cpm2_immr->im_siu_conf.siu_82xx.sc_swsr, 0xaa39);
