Are you doing exactly the same thing? Is your C code only return
*((int*)JP6);?
If I remember correctly then you need to do mmap() on /dev/mem before
you can access that part of memory. Normal usermode process doesn't have
that area mapped so it generates segfault.
Using kernel api directly with inline assembler might be trickey so you
might consider using uClibc (or similar). With that you get much smaller
statically linked executables.
