The definitions in that file are only usable from inside the kernel,
you can not use them in a user space application.

The correct way to solve your problem (which you did not explain, so
I can only guess) would be to write a kernel device driver for
the peripherial you want to drive, at least if it does not exist yet.

For prototyping, you can play with mmap() on /dev/mem in a user
application, but that is often not very reliable.
