This is because the zero page is set to faulting so that you can
catch NULL pointer exceptions. You could disable this (see
vectors_init), but then you can't catch NULL pointer exceptions
anymore. So the best you can do is use map_io_sections and map
your flash to some free region, maybe like this:

map_io_sections(0x0, (void *)SZ_1M, SZ_32M);

Then register your flash flash with address 1M instead of 0x0.
