AFAIK, it is a bug in the driver. That output is generated by
arch/i386/lib/iodebug.c, a routine to catch buggy drivers like that.
Look at
include/asm-i386/io.h, line 112 or so:
/*
* Temporary debugging check to catch old code using
* unmapped ISA addresses. Will be removed in 2.4.
*/
#if CONFIG_DEBUG_IOVIRT
extern void *__io_virt_debug(unsigned long x, const char *file, int line);
extern unsigned long __io_phys_debug(unsigned long x, const char *file, int li
ne);
#define __io_virt(x) __io_virt_debug((unsigned long)(x), __FILE__, __LINE__)
//#define __io_phys(x) __io_phys_debug((unsigned long)(x), __FILE__, __LINE__)
#else
#define __io_virt(x) ((void *)(x))
//#define __io_phys(x) __pa(x)
#endif
So you should mail driver mantainer, if it is known....
