It's known to work for the PS3 frame buffer device driver, which copies the

I still couldn't solve my problem, but thanks for helping.

The way you map memory in ps3fb_mmap() is basically the same.
In my case, memory is allocated with __get_free_pages() instead
of being at an absolute physical address, but I can't see how
it could make any difference.
