Please answer these questions before asking others.

You didn't answer either of my questions.  You said you created a map
file.  Is it being called?  If not, then you must ensure that it is.

Yes.  I did.

The map driver regarding which you didn't answer the simple questions,
is where the probing usually happens.

At this point a few simple printk()s in the map driver would tell us a lot.
