I am trying to create valid "struct page* (*get_xip_page)(struct
address_space *, sector_t, int)" to use the filemap_xip.c.

I've been trying to do it as follows:

virtual = ioremap(physical,size);

struct page* my_get_xip_page(struct address_space *mapping, sector_t
sector, int create)
{
  unsigned long offset;
  /*extract offset from mapping and sector*/
  return virt_to_page(virtual + offset);
}

I believe this to be fundamentally flawed.  While this works for
xip_file_read(), it does not work for xip_file_mmap().  I'm not sure I
understand the correct way to do this.  But I assume the problem, and
have some evidence to support it, is that virt_to_page() is not
returning a vaild page struct.

How can I get a valid page struct?  The memory is not RAM but Flash.
It is addressable like RAM and I want userspace to use it like
readonly RAM.
