24 * Here we define all the compile-time 'special' virtual
25 * addresses. The point is to have a constant address at
26 * compile time, but to set the physical address only
27 * in the boot process. We allocate these special addresses
28 * from the end of virtual memory (0xfffff000) backwards.
29 * Also this lets us do fail-safe vmalloc(), we
30 * can guarantee that these special addresses and
31 * vmalloc()-ed addresses never overlap.
33 * these 'compile-time allocated' memory buffers are
34 * fixed-size 4k pages. (or larger if used with an increment
35 * highger than 1) use fixmap_set(idx,phys) to associate
36 * physical memory with fixmap indices.
38 * TLB entries of such buffers will not be flushed across
39 * task switches.
43 * on UP currently we will have no trace of the fixmap mechanizm,
44 * no page table allocations, etc. This might change in the
45 * future, say framebuffers for the console driver(s) could be
46 * fix-mapped?
