Minus a couple of obvious typos that prevent if from building, it seems
to do the trick for me with the AST driver, no more bad mappings.

I'll still send a patch that catches the incorrect mapping attempts
inside ttm_io_prot() and warns to help future debugging and avoid
"random" behaviour. (I need to fix other things in the powerpc code
in there anyway).
