You are right. I have a coretile V2P-CA9 with PERIHPBASE at 0x2c000000
whch does not match that of the kernel.
Also other addresses in the Model's memory map also seem to be way off
from the kernel defintions. (like the timer, wtachdog, clcd etc)
The model is downloaded from ARM Fast model suite, should be 2013
release version .
Where do I find patches to boot ARM's fast model (either of Coretile
V2p CA9x4 or CA15x4). I tried looking at linaro's releases site  :
http://releases.linaro.org/13.08/android/vexpress

Even Linaro's released kernel sources have a memory map similar to the
open source one.

Any pointers ?
