 My box doesn't have more than 4GB. I've tried this on 32 bit and 64 bit.

I tried nuking the mfn_is_ram check. When I do that the call returns a virtual memory address but when I try to read and write to it, it appears to act just like a normal page of memory and not the device.

Does anyone know offhand of a mini-os project that either tested the ioremap() call or actually does some memory mapped io operations?

ioremap() on this address but its failing, telling me that mfn fed40 is
in ram space. (Its failing the mfn_is_ram() check.)

What am I doing wrong here?
Mmm, I don't think anything you're doing is wrong. Notice the comment:

static long system_ram_end_mfn;
int mfn_is_ram(unsigned long mfn)
{
     /* very crude check if a given MFN is memory or not. Probably should
      * make this a little more sophisticated ;) */
     return (mfn<= system_ram_end_mfn) ? 1 : 0;
}

Do you have more than 4GiB memory, i.e. 0xfed40000 is actually between
two RAM areas?  In such case mfn_is_ram has to really get more
sophisticated.

(In the interim you could just comment the mfn_is_ram() test from
do_ioremap to make things work)
