Right, so when do you know if you'll be using MURAM or normal
memory? Why not just keep around a token that is the physical
address at the point you make the decision of MURAM vs normal
memory.
Yes, that can be a way. But as the virt to phy mapping is only used
once, it's nothing bad to do it this way.
The problem as I stated before with using iopa() is that its not
supported across platforms.
Yes, it is only for PPC32. But we don't have another API to do
it. How
about make it more generic to add PPC64 version?
Why do you need another API to do this, you already have the
information you want, its just a matter of you keeping track of it.
