re: ioremap in reverse

["Dharshan Rangegowda" <dharshar@cs.tamu.edu>]

when you have x= ioremap(y,size) isnt x like any other normal virtual
address accessed through page tables , so why cant
we use the normal kernel functions  pgd_offset,pmd_offset,pte_offset to
convert x to a physical address in kernel mode ?

P.S : I know pgd_offset takes a mm_struct as parameter..but that apart..
