Ah, this doesn't work.  You can't just choose a region of ram and
ioremap it.  Besides, the base of RAM is already used by the interrupt
vectors.

If you need to allocate a region for DMA buffers, then take a look at
dma_alloc_coherent().  If you just need to allocate some buffers, then
just use kzalloc().
