Andrea,

I haven't tried this myself, but would it be possible to use the memmap command 
line parameter to reserve a chunk of memory that the kernel will not try to 
manage.  I think this will bypass the MMU as I have seen that you can limit the 
kernel to using less memory and then use the DDR memory that the kernel is not 
managing without the MMU getting in the way.

Sincerely,
