I think the VGA_MAP_MEM(vga_vram_end) is just bogus -- it's not that we need to map the memory starting at vga_vram_end. I think it would cleaner (though much more intrusive) to do something like the patch below, which basically just hard-codes (base, size) rather than (base, end). > If this is not > acceptable, then we can fall back and use the Nanhai/Bjorn fix > of using ioremap_nocache(). Regardless of how we solve the vga_vram_size issue, I still think ioremap_nocache() is more appropriate in this case. A framebuffer won't work like we expect if it's mapped WB, will it? (The patch below assumes the ioremap_nocache change precedes it.) [PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra use VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures. It makes sense to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end. But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because we aren't going to access memory starting there. On ia64, which always has to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being nonsense. As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap() correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.
