Re: ioremap failing in linux guest

[Anish Bhatt <anish@cc.gatech.edu>]

The driver for the network processor that I am using does an ioremap 
call to map memory previously reserved using the mem & memap kernel 
parameters. for eg. if I reserve memory using memmap=384M$512M, it is 
calling ioremap(384,512) (with appropriate conversion to bytes) and 
later using the returned address to setup its queues.
