So 20a15000 is in the aperture. Oh well, I screwed up. I meant to
check for this back in 2006 but forgot, and miraclously it worked
until now.

Here's the problem:

	pg = phys_to_page(dma_addr);
	map = kmap_atomic(pg, KM_IRQ0);
	offset = mon_copy_to_buff(rp, offset, map + page_off, step_len);
	kunmap_atomic(map, KM_IRQ0);

Obviously we don't want the page that's overlayed by the aperture,
but the page where IOMMU is pointing.
