No.  Firstly, the piece of storage that gets munmapped isn't used, so unmapping
it isn't wrong.  What you need to do is to put a mapping over the bit of the
SRAM you wish to use and then fill it and use it.  Ideally, you'd do this
inside of do_mmap_pgoff() - that way those bits of the SRAM can be shared, but
I'm not sure how best to do that.

But you need to stick a VMA over it so that various checks don't spit
EFAULT/EIO at you.
