Split the chipsfb_ioctl() as well? Personally I don't like those ioctl 
()s at all since they allow the Xserver to shuffle BAR mappings around.

Do you have the ct65550 datasheet? If not I can mail it to you or I  
think you can still download it from intel.com. You can get the  
aperture address from the extended VGA registers if the chip runs in  
VLB mode. The aperture only contains the framebuffer and blitter  
registers, each in big- and little endian format. All flat panel,  
video IO and so on registers are accessible through  VGA registers.  
In VLB mode the aperture might be little endian only IIRC. One  
problem I ran into with igsfb was that I couldn't get the shark to  
map the whole aperture into kernel address space, look at the igsfb  
attachment code and you'll see what I mean - chipsfb will likely need  
similar trickery.

have fun
