Panic in simple_map_write called from cfi_probe_chip

[Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de>]

hi, 

I decided to play around with all the new shiny stuff in 2.6.17-rc6-mm2,
and tried to build a nearly allyesconfig kernel. After some tries,
I got to the point where it still runs after uncompressing, and got
into a panic.

it seems the offendling line is in include/linux/map.h where inline_map_write()
calls __raw_writel(datum.x[0], map->virt + ofs);

due to some inlines not all calls show up here.. basically cfi_probe_chip()
calls cfi_send_gen_cmd() in cfi.h which calls map_write() which in turn
calls inline_map_write(). Since eax is filles with 0xF0 i guess it is
the first call to cfi_send_gen_cmd() in cfi_probe_chip()
cfi_send_gen_cmd(0xF0, 0, base, map, cfi, cfi->device_type, NULL);

Greetings, Eric
