How does it fail? Does it give a fault in the hypervisor or the guest
kernel or just silently eat the MMIO writes and not do anything?

0x4xxxxxxx is a RAM region on 4.5 (see the end of
xen/include/public/arch-arm.h), I suspect your mmio mapping is being
clobbered by a RAM mapping (and therefore that your answer above is
"silently does nothing".

Do you need this to be a 1:1 mapping or could you move it to some free
space? Most of the low GB is free (but do check arch-arm.h) to be used
for MMIO mappings.

Ian.
