Well I did wrote that :)

That won't work. amdgpu_vram uses a MMIO register pair to access VRAM 
which works even when it isn't CPU visible.

Thinking more about it umr would probably use this as well, so that 
won't work either.

You could try to use dd on /dev/mem with the offset of the BAR.

I'm going to discuss AMD internally why you have such strange values in 
the RBAR registers.

I have a few comments on the patches. They can use some polishing, but 
in general the approach looks solid to me.
