PAGE_GUARDED

Aneesh,

Thank you for your help. I tried

/* Workaround for lack of device tree */
                        if (primary) {
                                __ioremap_at(range.cpu_addr, (void 
*)ISA_IO_BASE,
                                range.size, HPTE_R_C | HPTE_R_M);
                        hose->io_base_virt = (void *)_IO_BASE;
                        printk("Initialised io_base_virt 0x%lx _IO_BASE 
0x%llx\n", (unsigned long)hose->io_base_virt, (unsigned long long)_IO_BASE);
                     }

Unfortunately the kernel doesn't boot.

Cheers,

Christian
