Maybee, the emac0 (0xef600800) and emac1 (0xef600900) get mapped as wel=
l,=20
because AFAIK I have to map a whole pagesize (0x1000).

The whole example was meant to be short.

This was stolen from uio_dummy. So this might become a common error :(


Thanks a lot for your comments, I will try to get an exclusive memory r=
egion=20
mapped.
