Hi,
I was analyzing arch/sparc/mm/srmmu.c (linux 3.3)
In our system, the pgd table sits at c8000000 and the entry for c80000000 is at 
c8000320. (upper 8 bits is the index and *4 is the index address)
previously, I got srmmu_nocache_pool = c0540000. Does anybody know why 
__nocache_fix(0xc80000320) is c0540320?
This is equivalent to saying that nocache region 0xc8000000 is mapped to 
0xc0540000 which is physical address 0x60540000.
I'm confused here..
I guess the virtual address 0xc8000000 which is in nocache region is rebased to 
previously allocated nocache physcial address 0x60540000 which is then 
equivalent to virtual address 0xc0540000. Having said that, it sounds perfectly 
correct.
another example of realizing something while asking.. Correct me if I'm wrong.
regards,
Chan
