I discussed this with a few people, and it sounds like it's safe to use
IRAM for this. However, I did discover a few other uses of IRAM too, in
our downstream kernels anyway, so I'll certainly create arch/arm/mach-
tegra/include/mach/irammap.h that provides defines for all the IRAM
offsets, what they're used for, and when.
