Ok. Just to be clear: by removing that mapping, I meant removing the
".map_io = bcm2835_map_io" line as well, so the default debug_ll_io_init()
function gets called. If you have a map_io function that does not call
debug_ll_io_init() or something equivalent, you cannot use DEBUG_LL.

It's possible that this mapping was just added for supporting DEBUG_LL,
using the default debug_ll_io_init() is a better way to do that.
