It is vaddr, so that should be OK. Return is pfn, which is the important one.
Your work in memory.c looks like the right thing to do. Afaics it will work for xip as well once I figure how to do COW. Cool stuff :-).
I think you may be able to use VM_PFNMAP in much the same way as remap_pfn_range does. You won't be able to support get_user_pages, of course. -- SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com -
