I think this patch needs some comments in the code. As mentioned in the
last round, this functionality is not documented, so it is not obvious
how/why this works. This is especially true for any user who has
problems with this code and then tries to look up those addresses in
their at91 manual only to find the regions are reserved.

Nicolas, are you able to give an official Atmel stance on this?
