It is natural if that region is out of memblocks.

this (ESR = 0x96000021) means that Data Abort and Alignment fault happened.
As ioremap() makes the mapping as "Device memory", unaligned memory
access won't be allowed.

So should we always avoid ioremap() in acpi_os_ioremap() entirely, or
modify acpi_ns_lookup() (or any acpi functions') to prevent unaligned
accesses?
(I didn't find out how unaligned accesses could happen there.)
