[PATCH v3 09/11] arm64: move kernel mapping out of linear region

Ard Biesheuvel ard.biesheuvel at linaro.org
Fri Apr 10 06:53:53 PDT 2015


This moves the primary mapping of the kernel Image out of
the linear region. This is a preparatory step towards allowing
the kernel Image to reside anywhere in physical memory without
affecting the ability to map all of it efficiently.
