RE: ioremap on powerpc question

[...]

quoted

However, on powerpc, as soon as I try to do, for example:

	*buf = '\0'; // write one char to virt addr returned by ioremap

It blows up with a machine check.

You are hitting a 440GP specific feature.  ioremap is trapping
ranges of addresses and "fixing them up" with the proper ERPN.
Unfortunately, I left the default on a no match as an ERPN=1
which will ioremap 1 0400 0000.   That's why you get a bus error.

Try this patch:

Thanks!  That appears to work.
and thanks for explaining the rationale on the readb/writeb requirement.
