64-bit ioremap on x86 never worked AFAIK, the whole API is using 32-bit 
physical addresses which is limited to 4GB. But ... this bug does have 
the feeling of the wrong IO side physical memory being mapped. (0xff 
data means there's no device there - typical of non-existent RAM/IO)

could you please pull the x86/latest tree to do a kernel pagetable dump 
for us? You can pull it via the instructions here:

   http://people.redhat.com/mingo/x86.git/README

then enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y and CONFIG_X86_PTDUMP=y boot the 
kernel so that ohci1394 doesnt work. Then dump the pagetables and other 
hw info via:

   http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/tools/cfs-debug-info.sh

send us the cfs-debug-info file that gets generated. We'll be able to 
tell from that whether your ioremap's are OK. (x86/latest will also 
printk all ioremap()s and results that are done)

thanks,

	Ingo
