The reason for the 0XD is because the CS is on a 36 bit physical 
address. You're in luck because the 36 bit address support went in 
the 2.6 tree a couple of days ago (I don't remember if you're using 
2.4 or 2.6, but 2.4 has the 36 bit support as well). You don't mess 
with the tlb registers yourself -- you let ioremap do its work. Take 
a look at drivers/pcmcia/au1000_generic.c and you'll see how the 
pcmcia CS is remapped. You simply pass the 36 bit phys address and 
ioremap will do its job.

If there was no 36 bit address support in the kernel, your only 
option would have been to use a wired tlb, and then you would end up 
programming the tlb registers directly. In this case there is no 
reason to do that because ioremap will handle the 36 bit phys address.
