I can confirm that it has been done ;-)

The platform it has been ported to, does have an mmap(), but it's not
required - you can use KGI with a 1:1 mapping to physical memory if you
wish.

Andreas will probably commit cleaned up/more portable code back into the GGI
tree soon. However, it took him only 2 days to do the actual porting; I
believe it won't take you much longer.. :)

Probably something will grow out of the current KGI drivers, Steffen's
new KGI scheme, Jon's work at creative, and Andreas' and my work.
