It looks like this comes from OMAP44XX_DMM_VIRT.

#define OMAP44XX_DMM_PHYS       OMAP44XX_DMM_BASE
                                                /* 0x4e000000 --> 0xfd300000 */
#define OMAP44XX_DMM_VIRT       (OMAP44XX_DMM_PHYS + OMAP4_L3_PER_IO_OFFSET)
#define OMAP44XX_DMM_SIZE       SZ_1M

The comment suggesting a mapping correspondance is obviously wrong. We have:

#define OMAP44XX_DMM_BASE       0x4e000000
#define OMAP4_L3_PER_IO_OFFSET  0xb1100000

Hence 0x4e000000 + 0xb1100000 = 0xff100000.
