What mean 'DMAMEM' ?

The ethernet part of the i.MX reads/writes directly the received/sent Ethernet frames into/from RAM. So I need to alloc some space where the buffers are stored.

And What is the function of which name is 'Mmio_ram()' ?

The CPU needs uncached access to this RAM so that the driver sees the received bytes (and not the values from the cache).
