Olof, Arnd, that should fix your problem but it's not 2.6.22 material.
I'll post a separate patch for 2.6.22 that does a temporary band aid,
basically calling pci_setup_phb_io() + remap_bus_range() rather than
pci_setup_phb_io_dynamic() from the of_device/PCI code and add a
spinlock to reserve_phb_iospace().

I found also a couple of other nits for which I'll do patches for
2.6.22. For example, we don't mask out the "tokens" at the top of IO
addresses in iounmap() which means it probably doesn't work on cell.
Ouch.

There's a number of other issues that my bigger patch fixes for which I
won't bother with a 2.6.22 backport though.

Cheers,
Ben.
