Hmm, I guess the kernel does map the entire region its get
passed and simply makes sure to not touch the reserved mem,
where as with the changes to the passed in mem-region the
sunxi u-boot code does the memory does not get mapped by
the kernel at all ?
I think at this point this may have more become more of a
question for the ARM folks then for the fbdev list.
