OK, so I changed Russel's printk to the following way:

+printk("vmalloc: mapping page %p (0x%08lx000) at 0x%08lx 0x%08zx\n",
+    page, page_to_pfn(page), addr, __pa(addr));

(added __pa(addr)) and now I hope I am seeing the physical
addresses at the last column:

[   19.023836] vmalloc: mapping page ef7f1fa0 (0x000bfc7d000) at
0xf04a3000 0x304a3000
[   19.031515] vmalloc: mapping page ef7f3360 (0x000bfd1b000) at
0xf04a4000 0x304a4000
[   19.039221] vmalloc: mapping page ef7f18e0 (0x000bfc47000) at
0xf04a5000 0x304a5000

and they do not exceed mem= option.
Not sure though if this was the right thing to do though. :)

Anyway, with mem=0xc000000 it seems to boot, so many
thanks to everyone!

I'll check the value of the register 0xf1020254 tomorrow and will post back.
