How to access Physical memory not mapped in kernel


hi,

I want to test PASR(partial array self refresh) feature in mobile SRAM.
For which I had put appropriate code, now in order to check that the SRAM actually goes into PASR I booted my board with half memory(of total physical available) and used ioremap to map some part of physical memory above half , there is no problem with memset_io but problem comes when i try to read the newly mapped memory with memcpy_fromio() but it hangs and gives error

Error log is :



<1>Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1008) at 0xc4a00000
Internal error: : 1008 [#1]

I searched but not found answer . can anyone help ???????

Also is there any other method to access the physical memory which is not mapped in kernel other than ioremap() .
