Au contraire!
I mark the page as reserved when I ioremap() it. However, if I leave it marked
reserved, then iounmap() will not unmap it. If I mark it "unreserved" (i.e.
reset the reserved bit), then iounmap will unmap it, but it will decrement the
page counter to -1 and the whole system will crash soon thereafter.
I've been asking about this problem for months, but no one has bothered to help
me out.
