I suppose the cpu_is_*() stuff I've heard about through David Brownell
is going to solve that. Could someone point me at the patch
implementing it for ARM so that I can implement something similar for
AVR32?

It's supposed to prevent it from ioremap()ing it again if it was
previously ioremap()ed for use by the console. I'll drop it along with
the call to ioremap() in the next hunk.

Well, maybe I misunderstood something. The reason I added it was to get
a pointer to the USART registers for use by the serial console. I guess
it would work equally well to just set UPF_IOREMAP, except that the
console will start working a bit later...

What is the best way to get the serial console up and running early in
the boot process? ioremap() only happens to work because the internal
peripherals are permanently mapped on AVR32, so I shouldn't really
depend on that.
