On x86-64 BTW while they could still rely on end_pfn_mapped and it being direct mapped Venki's PAT patchkit removes that so ioremap would be needed there too > 2) set_memory_ and set_pages_ API is not restricted to direct mapping. > That's why they take a virtual address / struct page If there is no direct mapping what page tables should they change?
