Is this an ARM machine? The platform specific mach/io.h header file
in that case defines an __io() macro that is responsible for mapping
port numbers to virtual addresses.

You have to ioremap() the physical address 0xfe240000 to a virtual
address, and then add the base address to the number inside of the
__io macro, e.g.

/* in mach/io.h: */
extern void __iomem *this_board_pci_iospace;
#define __io(x) ((x & 0xffff) + this_board_pci_iospace)

/* in pci controller setup code: */
this_board_pci_iospace = ioremap(0xfe240000, 0x10000);
