+/*
+ * Virtual Memory Map support
+ *
+ * (C) 2007 sgi. Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>.
+ *
+ * Virtual memory maps allow VM primitives pfn_to_page, page_to_pfn,
+ * virt_to_page, page_address() to be implemented as a base offset
+ * calculation without memory access.
+ *
+ * However, virtual mappings need a page table and TLBs. Many Linux
+ * architectures already map their physical space using 1-1 mappings
+ * via TLBs. For those arches the virtual memmory map is essentially
+ * for free if we use the same page size as the 1-1 mappings. In that
+ * case the overhead consists of a few additional pages that are
+ * allocated to create a view of memory for vmemmap.
+ *
+ * Special Kconfig settings:
+ *
+ * CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
+ *
+ * 	The architecture has its own functions to populate the memory
+ * 	map and provides a vmemmap_populate function.
+ *
+ * CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PMD
+ *
+ * 	The architecture provides functions to populate the pmd level
+ * 	of the vmemmap mappings.  Allowing mappings using large pages
+ * 	where available.
+ *
+ * 	If neither are set then PAGE_SIZE mappings are generated which
+ * 	require one PTE/TLB per PAGE_SIZE chunk of the virtual memory map.
