For the normal (but unused) ram we could use kmaps, but this assumes highmem support, so we don't bother and just use the memory via ioremap. As a side effect, the following hack is possible: when used together with pstore_ram (new ramoops) module, we can limit the normal RAM region with mem= and then point ramoops to use the rest of the memory, e.g. mem=128M ramoops.mem_address=0x8000000 Sure, we could just reserve the region with memblock_reserve() early in the arch/ code, and then register a pstore_ram platform device pointing to the reserved region. It's still a viable option if platform wants to do so. Also, we might want to use IO accessors in case of a real device, but for now we don't bother (the old ramoops wasn't using it either, so at least we don't make things worse).
