address is the vmf->virtual_address?

And is the page_to_pfn(page) value correct? As in:

  int pfn = page_to_pfn(page);

  WARN(pfn << PAGE_SIZE != vaddr,"Something fishy.");

Hm, I think I might have misled you now that I look at that WARN.

The pfn to be supplied has to be physical page frame number. Which in
this case should be your bus addr shifted by PAGE_SIZE. Duh! Try that
value.

I think a better example might be the 'hpet_mmap' code as it is simpler
and it also adds the VM_IO flag.

I gave you the wrong data :-(
