Interesting. Wish the mainstream AMD K8 CPUs had one too :)

If it's faster than the i386 assembly version I think you
should add it.

Declarations don't need ifdefs.

This should use readl

The bracket should be on an own line. Further occurrences.

This should be unsigned long

This should be ioremap_nocache()

I would advise to not print virtual addresses into the kernel log.
They are usually completely useless to the user. Either physical
or nothing.
