I know that there were some problems with PowerPC memory access, unfortunately I don't know any specifics or if these issues are fixed in current kernels. Searching for postings by Takashi Iwai on the PowerPC kernel lists might turn something up.
The PowerPC MPC8610 drivers enable mmap support, and it seems to work, but that chip has a coherent MMU. I've never done a definitive test that it works, though. What's the easiest way to test mmap?
