It's not that easy as it might look at first sight. Please note that
USBPHY registers are shared between host usb controller (PHY1 interface)
and device usb controller (PHY0 interface). You need to provide some
global arbitration mechanism for accessing usb phy registers to avoid 
registers trashing between the OHCI/EHCI and OTG drivers. That's why
having it mapped globally with some helper functions that perform 
serialization is really convenient.

SROMC area is something really different. It is used only by SMDK
machines for creating a iospace for external ethernet ship. IMHO this
area should be mapped by the SMDK board startup code not the core
Exynos4 cpu code.

I'm also against renaming, it will just create more confusion and
problems with rebasing patches.
