because it also uses reserve_bootmem() in
drivers/video/omap2/vram.c and later ioremap on RAM. Perhaps LMB can
be used to fix that too?

WTF is reserve_bootmem doing in a driver?

IIRC Tony refused any new fb related code in arch/arm/*omap* so it
ended up there (or maybe because of something else, not that I had
anything to do with this).

Can someone please answer these questions:

1. why does the framebuffer need to _reserve_ a set of specific sections
   of SDRAM rather than _allocate_ a set of sections?
2. what range of sizes of SDRAM does the framebuffer driver need?
