> Subject: [PATCH] IO resources, x86: ioremap sanity check to catch mapping requests exceeding

i started testing it in -tip, and it triggered on a quirky PCI hotplug 
driver:

calling  ibmphp_init+0x0/0x360 @ 1
ibmphpd: IBM Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.6
resource map sanity check conflict: 0x9f800 0xaf5e7 0x9f800 0x9ffff reserved

 =======================
---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a725 ]---
initcall ibmphp_init+0x0/0x360 returned -19 after 144 msecs
calling  zt5550_init+0x0/0x6a @ 1

mapping the EBDA is rather ... un-nice from that driver, so i guess you 
check does the right thing in flagging possible crap.
