I'm pretty sure you'll need ioremap(); the problem is that on Linus'
tree console_init() is called before PCI and MM is initialized, so
ioremap() doesn't work at that point it time.  I think the VGER folk
are moving the initialization of framebuffer devices out of console_init
to somewhere else after PCI/MM initialization, which should solve the
problem.

Cheers,
