From 9fd126bc742f74a95d2ba610247712ff05da02fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:57:34 -0700 Subject: x86, pat: New i/f for driver to request memtype for IO regions Add new routines to request memtype for IO regions. This will currently be a backend for io_mapping_* routines. But, it can also be made available to drivers directly in future, in case it is needed. reserve interface reserves the memory, makes sure we have a compatible memory type available and keeps the identity map in sync when needed.
