Thanks a lot for these results. I think I got it know. I will write a
patch that marks the resource as busy. See:
kernel/resource.c iomem_map_sanity_check()
It also contains a hint that we should set this for driver-resources
which not directly map to hardware resources (such as veasfb and,
obviously, simplefb).
Following a diff which hopefully fixes this. The other two patches
should still be required, though. I will try to write a proper patch
tomorrow.
Thanks a lot for these extensive tests, Tom!
