v2 --> v3: 1. cancel send to "patc...@armlinux.org.uk", the patches should have been reviewed first. 2. drop the "default n" of the configuration option ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT_RADICAL. 3. remove an unnecessary cast: below (unsigned long). "t" is already unsigned long. __pv_stub((unsigned long) t, t, "sub", __PV_BITS_23_16);
v1 --> v2: Nothing changed, but add mail list: patc...@armlinux.org.uk v1: Currently, only support the kernels where the base of physical memory is at a 16MiB boundary. Because the add/sub instructions only contains 8bits unrotated value. But we can use one more "add/sub" instructions to handle bits 23-16, to support PHYS_OFFSET minimum aligned at 64KiB boundary. This function is required at least by some Huawei boards, such as Hi1380 board. Becuase the kernel Image is loaded at 2MiB boundary.
