It's extremely unlikely to have a UART at address 0 (because that's by
default where the CPU jumps to on reset.)  That's not to say it could
never happen - it's possible to hard-wire the CPU into 'hivec' mode
where it'll instead jump to 0xffff0000.  In that case, if you're sane
you'd put your SDRAM at 0x00000000.
