Ok.

So it's fb_mmap() that uses an invalid page frame number when it does the
"io_remap_pfn_range()" thing.

And the way it gets that page frame number is basically

- Offset (in bytes) from start of mapping:

off = vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT;
..

- frame buffer start address:

/* frame buffer memory */
start = info->fix.smem_start;
len = PAGE_ALIGN((start & ~PAGE_MASK) + info->fix.smem_len);
..
off += start;

- do the remap:

io_remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start, off >> PAGE_SHIFT, ..

and there has been no changes to this logic in drivers/video/fbmem.c
lately.

What *has* changed is that we have a newradeon driver, and it looks like
that new radeon driver is crap, and does this:

info->fix.smem_start = (unsigned long)fbptr;

which is totally screwed up. It assigns a _virtual_ address to that
"smem_start" thing, even though it should be a physical one.

I don't know the radeon driver, so I don't know where to find the physical
address. It's also possible that there is no good single physical
address, and the radeon driver should implement a "fb_mmap" function.

Does this patch make the warning and the oops at least go away? Obviously
it won't result in a working frame buffer, but that's a separate issue
