Hi,

While running mtd_stresstest on a dataflash (atmel_spi 
+ mtd_dataflash drivers) I hit the BUG_ON directive that 
is at the beginning of ___dma_single_cpu_to_dev() function.
This function is called from the SPI driver that do a 
dma_map_single() before DMA operations on the buffer 
transmitted from upper layers.

It seems that this address is above "high_memory" limit because 
it is allocated by vmalloc (in mtd_stresstest.c:285)...

Well, its telling you is that you're not allowed to DMA to vmalloc
addresses.  Whether that's the fault of the map driver or not is a
question for mtd folk.
