This has been replaced by the new net/fs_enet, right?

Yes, and that's wrong.  You should at least use
ioremap(), and we recently had discussions about
whether to create some properly named functions
or macros to return common addresses like the
CPM space.

I know, but we shouldn't be doing that any longer.

For now, at least ioremap() the space in your driver
and cache the pointer.  I'd like to quickly get a couple of
these other supporting functions done to use, though.

Thanks.
