I think the VGA_MAP_MEM(vga_vram_end) is just bogus -- it's not
that we need to map the memory starting at vga_vram_end. I think
it would cleaner (though much more intrusive) to do something like
the patch below, which basically just hard-codes (base, size)
rather than (base, end).

Regardless of how we solve the vga_vram_size issue, I still think
ioremap_nocache() is more appropriate in this case. A framebuffer
won't work like we expect if it's mapped WB, will it?
(The patch below assumes the ioremap_nocache change precedes it.)
[PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra use
VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures. It
makes sense to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to
access memory between vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.
But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end,
because we aren't going to access memory starting there. On ia64,
which always has to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives
you something completely incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start,
so vga_vram_size ends up being nonsense.
As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.
