Thanks for the patch.
It looks like this patch from Fernando, perhaps unintentionally, also
makes the first page mappable so the NULL address is also valid. The
NULL address isn't considered valid by the ISP driver which thus does
not iommu_vunmap() the NULL address.
Hiroshi, David, what do you think? I think the patch is correct so it
could be applied with description changed to mention it disallows
mapping the first page again.
Or is there a reason to allow mapping the first page automatically? I
personally don't see any.
Cheers,
