Well I didn't have to do any remapping for successfully running a cross glibc
testsuite over ssh.
This was v5.1-rc1 + HIGHMEM+ PAE + patch to disable ioc + this patch for DT update.

Perhaps the remapping is needed when you are remapping DDR to 0 (for HIGHMEM + !PAE)

This was all via mdb !

Well I can drop the last commented line but I don't want to do wholesale changes
to DT for enabling DT, so would liek to keep the rest of the patch anyways.

But sure send over the AXI remapping stuff - is that described in hsdk specs ?
