On systems where there is MMIO space between different blocks of RAM in the physical address space, __ioremap_caller did not allow mapping these MMIO areas, because they were below the end RAM and thus considered RAM as well. Use the memblock-based page_is_ram function, which returns false for such MMIO holes. v2: Keep the check for p < virt_to_phys(high_memory). On 32-bit systems with high memory (memory above physical address 4GiB), the high memory is expected to be available though ioremap. The high_memory variable marks the end of low memory; comparing against it means that only ioremap requests for low RAM will be denied. Reported by Michael Ellerman.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
