mmh, I wasn't clear :
You must do :

my_virt_address =   ioremap( 0x1F800000, 0x800000  );
my_bus_address = virt_to_bus(phys_to_virt(0x1f800000));

The virtual address returned by phys_to_virt won't be really valid ... but it
will be good enough for virt_to_bus. In the end, it will just do
PCI_DRAM_OFFSET + 0x1f800000;
