Hi Konrad,

Thanks for taking a look!

I'll fix both of these, thanks.

gcc doesn't seem to like that:

arch/arm64//mm/xpfo.c: In function ‘xpfo_dma_map_unmap_area’:
arch/arm64//mm/xpfo.c:80:2: error: variable-sized object may not be initialized
  void *buf[possible_pages] = {};
  ^~~~

I thought about putting this on the heap, but there's no real way to return
errors here if e.g. the kmalloc fails. I'm open to suggestions though, because
this is ugly.

I'm afraid I don't really know. I'll drop it for the next version, thanks!
