This could still be due to CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM, assuming offb
registers the linear VRAM aperture.
Note that I wouldn't count on the kernel package maintainers honing a
request to disable CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM again, as it's desirable from
a security/safety perspective. But I guess you can try.
