One topic that was partially touched on was dealing with various
memories on embedded systems. We have several sram based allocators
in the kernel for various different arch's:

- Blackfin sram allocator arch/blackfin/mm/sram-alloc.c
- Lite5200(b) sram allocator arch/powerpc/sysdev/bestcomm/sram.c
- AVR32 sram allocator arch/avr32/mach-at32ap/at32ap700x.c and arch/
avr32/mach-at32ap/include/mach/sram.h
- Potential davinci sram allocator

There maybe others.

SH does this through NUMA on SRAM blocks that are anywhere from
128kB to
64MB. Some of our SMP configurations have upwards of a dozen of these
blocks.

Do you really have that much on chip memory?

Is this really a serious question? If we didn't, I would not have
mentioned it.

It was. I'm not familiar with SH hardware so wasn't sure if there was some other application you had for the multiple regions.
