virt_to_bus is depcreated, but you probably know that :) The problem
is that on ppc64, you _MUST_ go through the PCI DMA API, because this
is the only way you'll have the iommu setup properly for your device
to be able to access main memory. virt_to_bus() cannot work.

Time for fixing this module...
