hmmm, the construct used to define MX27_IO_ADDRESS et al. does only work
without __ASSEMBLER__ anyhow, still I think it might be at least
surprising that e.g.

	IOMEM(MX27_WDOG_BASE_ADDR, MX27_SAHB1_BASE_ADDR, MX27_SAHB1_SIZE, MX27_SAHB1_BASE_ADDR_VIRT)

evaluates to 0x84102000 if __ASSEMBLER__ is defined but 0 if not.

I tend to think we should use a different solution.

IMHO it would be great to have a macro that maps physical to virtual
addresses for both assembler and C.  E.g. ns9xxx has something like
that[1], other probably, too, but for imx it would be harder as the used
addresses differ and are spread over the whole address space.  Some time
ago I found a function that would do the task, but Sascha didn't agree
to use it because it involved too much magic.

Best regards
Uwe
