Yes, unfortunately, this is what all other frame buffer drivers do
at the moment. It is technically not correct, but most architectures
are able to call readl/writel on regular memory, or dereference
__iomem tokens, so we often get away with it. It's probably not
worth fixing it in the fbdev code base as that would be a huge
change, and people are migrating to DRM/KMS.
