Sounds good.

But you shouldn't mask anything with PAGE_OFFSET (it's a base-address,
not a mask).  __pa() can be used instead.  I see that setup.c had the
same problem, so I cleaned that up as well, plus I made it use
ioremap(), instead of hardcoding the formation of an uncachable
mapping).

Thanks,
