Actually, I take back what I said earlier.  Region 1 is a Memory
region not an I/O region.

It looks like you'll have to find a way to get at the implicit
I/O space for the PCI domain this framebuffer is behind and
construct the implicit VGA addresses by hand.

There is a way to do this, via pcibios_bus_to_resource().  You could
do something like:

struct s3fb_info {
 ...
	void __iomem *vga_iobase;
 ...
static int __devinit s3_pci_probe(struct pci_dev *dev, const struct pci_device_id *id)
{
	struct pci_bus_region bus_reg;
	struct resource vga_res;
 ...
	bus_reg.start = 0;
	bus_reg.end = 64 * 1024;

	vga_res.flags = IORESOURCE_IO;

	pcibios_bus_to_resource(dev, &bus_reg, &vga_res);

	par->vga_iobase = (void __iomem *) vga_res.start;

Then replace all NULL vga_*() initial arguments in the driver
with par->vga_iobase.
