Hi David,
I assume you still somehow create the direct mapping for the kernel, right?
So it's really some memory region with a direct mapping but without a memmap
(and right now, without a resource), correct?
XIP kernel text is not a region in memory to begin with ;-)
I think that's the part that confused me. I thought it would be mapped
somehow into physical address space and would be addressed like other
memory -- just that reads would be rewired to go to flash.
It resides in a flash and it is executed directly from there without being
relocated to RAM.
That's why it does not need neither direct mapping, nor struct pages.
Thanks for clarifying! :)
