Should be a pretty simple mistake - when you see it.

If your code runs inside the kernel, either linked directly or as a
kernel module, it runs from kernel space.
If your code is compiled into a program and executed from bash, etc.
it runs from user space.
Plain and simple. :-)

Working from userspace, you don't have any access to __raw_writel().
Do you have a reason, why working on the block device from user space
is not sufficient for your needs?

Oh, and could you leave the quotation you refer to over the text you
write? This makes the reference obvious.
