If the IMMAP base is high (like 0xf0000000 ) and therefore doesn't collide with anything, it's quite common practice to map it statically using a BAT somewhere in the setup code and often it's mapped such that phys = virt ...
So a physical address in this zone is equal to a virtual addres ... When that's the case, ioremap detects the BAT mapping and just does nothing. But you should always use ioremap nonetheless ... because if at some point some one decide to move the BAT mapping, if you didn't do things properly your code will break.
