Version 6 of the ARM architecture introduces the concept of 16MB pages (supersections) and 36-bit (40-bit actually, but nobody uses this) physical addresses. 36-bit addressed memory and I/O and ARMv6 can only be mapped using supersections and the requirement on these is that both virtual and physical addresses be 16MB aligned. In trying to add support for ioremap() of 36-bit I/O, we run into the issue that get_vm_area() allows for a maximum of 512K alignment via the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant. To work around this, we can: - Allocate a larger VM area than needed (size + (1ul << IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER)) and then align the pointer ourselves, but this ends up with 512K of wasted VM per ioremap(). - Provide a new __get_vm_area_aligned() API and make __get_vm_area() sit on top of this. I did this and it works but I don't like the idea adding another VM API just for this one case. - My preferred solution which is to allow the architecture to override the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant with it's own version.
