ioremap of pci region on pSeries LPAR vs SMP

[Anil Kumar Prasad]

Hi,
I am using SLES9 default kernel(2.6.5). I have a piece
of code where i do ioremap on pci memory region. It
works on JS20 machine where linux runs in partition
mode while it causes SLB miss on SMP box(P630) and
subsequently panics. 
On JS20, i get va in IO_REGION (0xE000....) while on
p630  ioremap returns address in
EEH_REGION(0xA000...). As soon as i try to dereference
this returned va on p630, kernel crashes(dump is at
the end of mail).

I looked in slab.c:slb_allocate(). it doesn't look
like that SLB miss in EEH_REGION will ever get through
'us REGION_ID check will return user address.

Did i miss something? Please help.

Thanks a lot,
Anil.
