Yes.

I think A5 and ARM11MPCore as well.

Yes, it is. We don't really use fixmap on ARM for anything other than
kmap_atomic at the moment. Please have a look at the powerpc and x86
implementations.

> For the common code to map the SCU page, where do you suggest to put it?

arch/arm/kernel/smp_scu.c.
