We faced with problem when we tried to utilize 1G DRAM by linux on
HSDK.
We can't use our usual kernel memory address (0x80000000) like on
AXS103 because of DCCM memory bank located at exactly same
address (0x80000000)
But we can't simply move kernel memory address to another address (like
0x90000000) because IOC base address must be aligned to the
size of the aperture as specified in the IOC size register.
So we had to use 1G aligned address for kernel memory.
We can't use 0x00000000 or 0x40000000 addresses because addresses
lover then 0x80000000 are MMU-translated.
We can't use 0xB0000000 address because we can define a volatile
uncached region only from AUX_NON_VOLATILE_LIMIT to the
0xFFFFFFFF. (the end of region is hardcoded)
So, the decision is to link kernel to 0x90000000, but use
0x80000000-0xBFFFFFFF memory region and reallocate DCCM in our platform
code.
This patch only makes possible to set kernel memory address not equal to
kernel link address.
