Probably the ia64 counter part is phys_to_machine_for_dma().
It convers pseudo physical address to machine address.
In general, device drivers shouldn't call phys_to_machine() directly.
For dma, device drivers should use dma api.
For IO area access, device drivers should use ioremap()/iounmap().
This is only the theory and presumably you already know it.
The device which you are playing with might have strange aspects,
I guess.
