Subject: [PATCH 01/12] x86_64: Allow fixmaps to be used with the initial page table.
Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2007 09:48:13 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m18xc96eyq.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1d51l6f1y.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Mon, 30 Apr 2007 09:46:17 -0600")


This patch preallocates the intermediate page table entries so that
all that is needed to setup a fixmap is to fill in the appropriate
pte.

By doing this modern hardware that uses memory mapped access can be
talked to early in boot through a fixmap. 

Allowing USB debugging and the like.
