Sorry to insist, I can't resist. What matters is to have a 16Kb virtual
region reserved for cache flushing. That you map Flash, SDRAM, IO
registers isn't relevant, just choose the region with the fastest read
access time.

All this doesn't sound like a problem at all to me so I guess I'm
missing something. Someone cares to explain?
