This increases VMALLOC_END to 0x18000000, making room for 256MB
RAM with the default 128MB vmalloc region.

I have a similar patch locally, but the problem I currently have with
it is that there is no longer any hole between vmalloc space and the
beginning of IO space (the first virtual mappings start at
0xd8000000.)

It's a bit unsafe, but IMO it's is probably OK for the short term.
Longer term I think the virtual address space of the OMAP kernels
needs to be reworked.  It currenly just maps directly onto the
physical address space, which makes the IO_ADDRESS() conversion macros
simple, but leaves lots of wasted space in the virtual address space.

I was told that omap3 support 512MB of ram, so is it possible to account for that as well, or can we revisit that when the actual LP- DDR become available?

regards,

Koen
