There's a fixmap area that holds kmap_atomic() percpu mappings:
FIX_KMAP_BEGIN, /* reserved pte's for temporary kernel mappings */
FIX_KMAP_END = FIX_KMAP_BEGIN+(KM_TYPE_NR*NR_CPUS)-1,
In a similar fashion we could use a per CPU high-mapped read-only alias as well
(assuming it fits, memory is pretty tight there).
Thanks,
Ingo
