Hello
As I understand ioremap() maps and returns virtual address
for a given physical(bus) address associated with my PCI card.
That is cool and clear.
What is the purpose of request_mem_region()?
They both take physical address as a parameter, but do not return any
virt addresses.
1. What do they allocate/reserve and where?
2. Should I call reques_mem_region() before doing ioremap() or not?
thanks
