First of all I have found how to do it (by CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET) so the problem is in QEMU.
Currently experimenting how to convince CMA to allocate that memory for my purpose.
That idea doesn't come from me!
The reason is that we want to run Linux on the first ARM core and the second cpu
will run any other RTOS. Linux remaps vectors to 0xffff0000 and the second
core has to use them at 0x0 address.
RTOS runs in real mode that's why I need to use ram at 0x0 address.
