Well I am not changing that code. All I am doing is correctly mapping
the long address to a sandbox pointer.

Presumable the existing code does that, and I am not changing it.

This is not mmap(), just a map from U-Boot ulong addresses to sandbox
pointers. So there should be no additional processing needed.
