That does not work on an Alpha. The Alpha (at leat my DS20 and
ES40) is happy with result of ioremap feeded into remap_page_range,
or the real CPU physical address (pci_resource_start + 0x80000000000
on Tsunami chipset).
There is an io_remap_page_range, which does a
remap_page_range(virt_to_phys(ioremap(pci_resource_start()))) on
Alpha, but this does not work either.

There must be a portable way to export PCI memory space to user space,
since e.g. the X servers are using that.

Any hints?

Thanks & regards,

Martin
