SubjectRe: [PATCH] ARM: mmp: map sram as MT_MEMORY rather than MT_DEVICE

Not a good idea fiddling about under the covers like that. The reason
that MT_MEMORY is not in asm/io.h is to stop it being used like this -
MT_MEMORY etc are not meant for general purpose use.

It needs to be looked at properly rather than working behind the APIs,
and making my life a misery by doing so, preventing me from making
changes where necessary by this kind of back-door use.

I guess we need a new ioremap_xxx() variant to cope with this.
