This doesn't feel right for some reason. If this is a register area, you should 
ioremap() it. If it's a memory area you do DMA to/from, you need to make sure 
you correctly flush/invalidate caches and properly handle the effects the write 
buffer might have. But I have a feeling you actually do DMA to/from register 
space here ?
