Working on a fix. Basically we need to migrate as many drivers as possible 
to use acceleration and remove the ioremapping code. To do this tho I have 
to replace the fb_read and fb_write functions with someothing that uses 
the accel engines. I haven't finished that code yet.

Fixed in the fbdev tree. That will be synced up soon.
