Another note, since it's not possible to map less than a page, so I believe
it might make sense to align all sizes to 0x1000.
And if Linux behavior changes then are you going to rewrite all the DTS
for new size?
No, the sizes reflect hardware register layout, not concept of pages.
I don't think that we should be coming with more nitpicky ideas, one
month after the patch was sent and reviewed.
Agree.
1. My understanding has always been:
- Map the entire register bank extent
- The main reason for that is today you might only use
1/4 of the registers in a given bank but tomorrow you might
add in new functionality - like the HardISP in which case
you'd want the full set of registers not just the 1/4
or the 4k aligned version of that bank.
2. Pages can be all sorts of sizes so aligning to a page
makes no sense. 4k isn't special.
