Not gonna work .....

When you map uncached on 8xx you get a new vmalloc()
space.  The virt_to_xxx macros don't work on those addresses.
You need to use the dma_consistent() function, stash the
real physical address it returns and then use it where
appropriate.

I thought you were getting rid of these weirdo macros and
write normal code for data structure access?  Please .....

Thanks.
