+ * (see definition in include/asm/pgtable-2level.h).  However a call to
+ * create_mapping() may optimize static mappings by using individual
+ * 1MB section mappings.  This leaves the actual PMD potentially half
+ * initialized if the top or bottom section entry isn't used, leaving it
+ * open to problems if a subsequent ioremap() or vmalloc() tries to use
+ * the virtual space left free by that unused section entry.
+ *
+ * Let's avoid the issue by inserting dummy vm entries covering the unused
+ * PMD halves once the static mappings are in place.
