About the only way to do this is to use static mappings. I was under the impression that static mappings are on the way out, and that dynamic mappings are required when using device tree. An example of using static mappings can be found here: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.4.4/arch/arm/mach-integrator/integrator_ap.c#L88 > My hardware configuration has 128 MB of system RAM which will have been > MAPPED to the Kernel virtual address from 0xC0000000 to 0xC7FFFFFF > > Also is it possible to configure the vmalloc kernel virtual address region > to a fixed range of 128 MB from 0xC8000000 to 0xCFFFFFFF I believe that you can only control the vmalloc start by controlling the amount of SDRAM that you have. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
