  This way speculative prefetches are avoided not only to the page 0,
  but also to other read sensitive I/O regions.

  I have created a similar patch in u-boot and posted a RFC now.
  I was using your first patch [1] and rest from me.

  Please let me know your take on that.

Hi Sricharan,

Your solution to this issue looks more elegant to me than my unmapping
page 0 completely.
   I tested your patches and they work for me on both GP (without
security) and EMU (with security) OMAP5 ES1.0 devices. I'll keep them,
thanks :) You can add my 'Tested-by' if you want:

 Thanks for the testing and confirming.
 Will add your <Tested-by> in the re post.

Regards,
 Sricharan
