The usual(32-bit) way is to mmap(/dev/mem). I don't know if that will work

It will work only for first 4G of physical address space.
/dev/mem cannot be used to access EPB/OCP or PCI address space on 440.

For this purpose "/dev/mem-like" device can be easily written that takes
into account 36-bit phys addresses.

Thanks,
