Dave,
This patchset will only write root tables in old kernel, if it is
corrupted, faults will also happen in old kernel, and hardware would
mark it. So things will not go worse..
Thanks
Zhenhua

The failure is nothing different, but as I said in another reply the
difference is we could use corrupted data to possiblly cause more failure.
I still fail to see how things can get more worse than they already are
by reusing the old data (we just reuse it, we do not modify anything
DMA write will modify system ram, if the old data is corrupted it is possible
that DMA operation modify wrong ram regions because of wrong mapping.
Am I missing something and is it not possible?
Thanks
Dave
