Re: [RFC/PATCH] powerpc: consistent memory mapping.

Defining the start virtual address of the consistent memory

the other virtual regions (fixmap, pkmap, vmalloc). Defaults from
current kernel just set consistent memory area to be somewhere
high in the vmalloc area and then you need to pray there will be
not enough vmalloc allocations to overlap.

What about just ripping that consistent memory implementation out
completely and using the normal vmalloc/ioremap allocator instead ?

Any reason not to ?
