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.
