Re: ebus & ioremap?

[Eric Brower <ebrower@gmail.com>]

From asm/io.h:

/* On sparc64 we have the whole physical IO address space accessible
 * using physically addressed loads and stores, so this does nothing.
 */
static inline void __iomem *ioremap(unsigned long offset, unsigned long size)
{
    return (void __iomem *)offset;
}

It is nice to use ioremap to remain idiomatic with other
architectures, though, esp. in drivers and the like.
