25 * Here we define all the compile-time 'special' virtual
26 * addresses. The point is to have a constant address at
27 * compile time, but to set the physical address only
28 * in the boot process. We allocate these special addresses
29 * from the top of unused virtual memory (0xfd000000 - 1 page) backwards.
30 * Also this lets us do fail-safe vmalloc(), we
31 * can guarantee that these special addresses and
32 * vmalloc()-ed addresses never overlap.
34 * these 'compile-time allocated' memory buffers are
35 * fixed-size 4k pages. (or larger if used with an increment
36 * highger than 1) use fixmap_set(idx,phys) to associate
37 * physical memory with fixmap indices.
39 * TLB entries of such buffers will not be flushed across
40 * task switches.
44 * on UP currently we will have no trace of the fixmap mechanism,
45 * no page table allocations, etc. This might change in the
46 * future, say framebuffers for the console driver(s) could be
47 * fix-mapped?
