Question about CFI allocation

Hi all, I'm a newbie about mtd.

I'm trying to use the cfi on the mpc85xx board. Part of mtdblock is
used by rootfs. So I have questions.

Why does CFI(or other flash memory) have to alloc to the vmalloc
area(such as PHYSMAP or PHYSMAP_OF)?
Is there way to alloc mtd partitions except vmalloc mapping?

Thanks,
Mitsutaka
