If you mean 0x5004 and not 0x504 (as stated in your previous email),
IMO it is a current limitation of the Qemu feature called "subpage"
(which is used when you are mapping a memory area smaller than the MMU
page size as in your example).

When using subpages in the current code, the "offset" becomes the
distance to the MMU page boundary instead of the distance to the base
address of the peripheral. This is somewhat impractical and confusing
when you are mapping the same subpage sized MMIO device at different
addresses.
As the emulation I'm working on has a lot of subpage sized
peripherals, I have written a patch to workaround this limitation. I
will send it to the list for comment if you want to try it.
