As you know that the fix map will make use of the mapping that set up by vector page. It will make use of top_pmd, and some APIs only provided under arch/arm/mm/. For example get_mem_type: for the pgprot for MT_DEVICE set_top_pte: Is that possible to add a file fixmap.c under arch/arm/mm/? It can including all the fix mapping except highmem. So SCU is one of it. > Arnd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
