There is another way, which I hope can fix this issue (it fixes
the graphics drivers). Basically making the Xen MMU be aware of the E820
and consider any access to PFNs that are not in RAM to have VM_IO implicitly 
set.

The patches are at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git

stable/p2m-identity.v4.3

And posted on LKML )https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/12/30/163)

They _should_ take care of your problem as long as the PFNs you
are mapping fall within the PCI BAR regions (which I would presume they
do since you are using ioremap).

Please tell me if they work (or not).
