Please put this in Russell's patch tracker
As I indicated in my reply to v1, we still need to reduce the the size
of the mapping as well: the non-fdt surplus might cover physical pages
that are NOMAP or mapped with different attributes, and so having a
cacheable, shareable alias could potentially be problematic as well.
I'll propose a patch for that once this lands.
