This is because the system map has been generated with newer binutils which always dump the addresses as 64Bit addresses. Load the system map into an text editor and delete the first ffffffff from the addresses 1,$ s/^ffffffff// > Warning (compare_maps): mismatch on symbol EISA_bus , ksyms_base says 88162b44, System.map says ffffffff88162b44.
