I've just noticed that IO_PAGE_SIZE might not equal to PAGE_SIZE (not 
sure if this is true in case of SPARCs), so it would be better to rely 
on IO_PAGE_MASK or IO_PAGE_SIZE only. Just unify the fix for the both 
affected functions either by masking phys with IO_PAGE_SIZE where it is 
used or by subtracting (phys & ~IO_PAGE_MASK) from it.
