It's not outside of real RAM.  The device is inside real RAM (it sits on the
DIMM itself), but I need to poke through the entire 4GB range to see how it
responds.

Unfortunately, the memory they remap is allocated:

table = (char *) __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL, page_order);

...

CACHE_FLUSH();
agp_bridge.gatt_table = ioremap_nocache(virt_to_phys(table), (PAGE_SIZE * (1 <<
page_order)));
CACHE_FLUSH();

I've searched high and low for examples of code that does what I do, and I
can't find any.
