I don't see any reason why this would prevent you  from  mapping  the
RAM at physical address 0.

I don't know which problems you want to avoid by your  chosen  memory
map,  but  I  guess  that the problems you *cause* by this choice are
more, and more severe.

Yes.

No, it will not, as BB is application code which requires  a  running
kernel, and your kernel will not run with such a mapping.
