This works for me.  Unlike QNX, you can only map multiples of the page size
and the base must also be aligned on a page boundary:

#define MMIO    0x11900000    /* SYS_xxx */
#define MMIO2   0x14000000   /* MEM_xxx */

memfd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR);
pgsize = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
mmio = (unsigned long)mmap(0, pgsize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                                        MAP_SHARED, memfd, MMIO);
mmio2 = (unsigned long)mmap(0, 2 * pgsize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                                        MAP_SHARED, memfd, MMIO2);
