Now, __ioremap_caller() gets 64 bit argument as physical address.
== 2.6.35-rc2 ==
static void __iomem *__ioremap_caller(resource_size_t phys_addr,
                unsigned long size, unsigned long prot_val, void *caller)
{
==

And check physical address is valid based on the value got from cpuid.
==
      if (!phys_addr_valid(phys_addr)) {
                printk(KERN_WARNING "ioremap: invalid physical address %llx\n",
                       (unsigned long long)phys_addr);
                WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
                return NULL;
        }
==


At 1st, this seems buggy.
==
        /*
         * Don't allow anybody to remap normal RAM that we're using..
         */
        for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT;
                                (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < (last_addr & PAGE_MASK);
                                pfn++) {

                int is_ram = page_is_ram(pfn);

                if (is_ram && pfn_valid(pfn) && !PageReserved(pfn_to_page(pfn)))
                        return NULL;
                WARN_ON_ONCE(is_ram);
        }
==
If phys_addr > 44bit, pfn should be 64bit. don't it ?
Then, page_is_ram should eat 64bit arguments.

But here, assume phys_addr < 44bit and continue.

Next,
===
      offset = phys_addr & ~PAGE_MASK;
        phys_addr &= PAGE_MASK;
        size = PAGE_ALIGN(last_addr+1) - phys_addr;

this mask ops is bad. as the patch-1 shows.

And, finally, calls get_vm_area.

==
        /*
         * Ok, go for it..
         */
        area = get_vm_area_caller(size, VM_IOREMAP, caller);
        if (!area)
                goto err_free_memtype;
        area->phys_addr = phys_addr;
        vaddr = (unsigned long) area->addr;
==
Because area->phys_addr is 32bit. This may break something if we unmap this later.

And, page table operation is this.
==
       if (ioremap_page_range(vaddr, vaddr + size, phys_addr, prot))
                goto err_free_area;
==

Let's see lib/ioremap.c
==
int ioremap_page_range(unsigned long addr,
                       unsigned long end, unsigned long phys_addr, pgprot_t prot)
{
        pgd_t *pgd;
   
==

Oh, phys_addr is unsigned long again....Then, Kenji-san, what's buggy is this check.
I think.

Thanks,
