But it's not I/O memory.  It's regular memory.  __iomem is for
memory-mapped I/O, which is limited to a specific range of memory locations.

If sometimes you use regular memory for the framebuffer, and other times
you use real I/O memory for the framebuffer, then you should have two
different pointers.
