    ARM: mm: Introduce virt_to_idmap() with an arch hook · 4dc9a817

    On some PAE systems (e.g. TI Keystone), memory is above the
    32-bit addressable limit, and the interconnect provides an
    aliased view of parts of physical memory in the 32-bit addressable
    space.  This alias is strictly for boot time usage, and is not
    otherwise usable because of coherency limitations. On such systems,
    the idmap mechanism needs to take this aliased mapping into account.
    
    This patch introduces virt_to_idmap() and a arch function pointer which
    can be populated by platform which needs it. Also populate necessary
    idmap spots with now available virt_to_idmap(). Avoided #ifdef approach
    to be compatible with multi-platform builds.
    
    Most architecture won't touch it and in that case virt_to_idmap()
    fall-back to existing virt_to_phys() macro.
