Hi Ard,

Some comments below...

I really don't like these map_io and map_xn parameters.
Further down we have logic "if (map_io)...", which is out of place, and
doesn't match the normal style of mapping page table entries.

Could we not instead have something like:
extern void create_pgd_mapping(struct mm_struct *mm, phys_addr_t phys,
			       unsigned long virt, phys_addr_t size,
			       pgprot_t prot_sect, pgprot_t prot_pte);

Then we can remove all the conditional logic for map_io, map_xn?

Ideally, this if block should be completely removed.

Presumably the !map_io and !map_xn tests are here because of the
PROT_SECT_NORMAL_EXEC below? Is there another reason why a pud mapping
would be unsuitable for these?
