Message-ID: <20010824110706.B31722@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> (raw)

Hi,

Could someone please review the patch at:

   http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/?action=viewpatch&id=613/1

and indicate whether it is acceptable to you folks?

The problem is that on some Intel StrongARM-based machines, the address
line A20 must never be set when performing DMA accesses, otherwise the
SDRAM gets corrupted.  Therefore, we must only provide a 1MB DMA region.
As Nico Pitre says there, Linux currently expects all memory zones to be
larger than 2MB.

Thanks.
