I think IO-mapping.txt is stale and whoever added ioremap_nocache
failed to update it.

It would be reasonable to ignore my patch (unless you wanted
to document the expected behavior of serial) if what willy
proposed an hour ago is accepted:
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/3/30/251

I'll update the IO-mapping.txt based on the outcome of
willy's patch.
