If I recall correctly, WinCE runs drivers and system services in User mode,
so any memory-mapped I/O would need to be set-up explicitly in the virtual
address space. As Geert has pointed out, so long as it's in that first 512MB,
a Linux driver running in Kernel mode can access it directly via Kseg1 (or
Kseg0, if you wanted to be able to cache the data).
