Documentation/DMA-API.txt

dma_addr_t
dma_map_single(struct device *dev, void *cpu_addr, size_t size,
                      enum dma_data_direction direction)

Notes:  Not all memory regions in a machine can be mapped by this API.
Further, contiguous kernel virtual space may not be contiguous as
physical memory.  Since this API does not provide any scatter/gather
capability, it will fail if the user tries to map a non-physically
contiguous piece of memory.  For this reason, memory to be mapped by
this API should be obtained from sources which guarantee it to be
physically contiguous (like kmalloc).

Specifically, ioremapped memory will *not* work as you expect with
dma_map_single().
