Hi Matt,
I am using io_block_mapping for early_console_prints
    io_block_mapping(0xf0000000, 0xf0000000, 0x10000000, _PAGE_IO);

Is this a cause of the problem ??

Not on its own...you should have ~240MB of initial vmalloc space with
this configuration.

How do i know how much addr i have ioremapped ??

You really want to know how much vmalloc space has been consumed
by all users.

Hard way:

Count all the ioremaps you do (plus 4KB offset between each
vmalloc offset).  If you are on a non-coherent platform you also
have to consider all consistent alloced memory.

Easy way:
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/linuxppc/vmalloc_stats-2_4_devel.patch
/proc/meminfo contains vmalloc usage stats.

My PAGE_OFFSET is at 0xc0000000

Do i need to change the PCI MEM Map also if i am having a 1:1 mapping in the
kernel virtual space ??

No, you just need to be aware that VMALLOC_END=ioremap_bot and this
value is set to whatever your lowest io_block_map virtual address is.
Any early ioremaps (pre-MM initialized) you do to place system devices
will further drop VMALLOC_END and constrain your vmalloc space.
