I doubt MT_MEMORY is intended for use with __arm_ioremap(). There could
be other way around to the L_PTE_XN bit.

One other way I'm actually thinking of is to add the SRAM mapping to
mmp_map_io(). The difference of SRAM offset/size may result the
separation of mmp_map_io() into {pxa168,pxa910,mmp2}_map_io()
if necessary.
