Genode depends on sigma0 to detect RAM regions. Sigma0 itself depends
on bootstrap's information. So, I think you have to figure out how to
configure bootstrap to exclude (or better to _not_ include) [0x0,
0x2000000) from RAM. Afterwards, Attached_io_mem_dataspace should work
as expected. Do you have a serial log of bootstrap's boot messages?
