- *
- *  struct vm_struct {

- *    struct page	**pages;

- * get_vm_area() would then call vm_region_alloc with an appropriate

- *
- *  struct vm_region vmalloc_head = {
- *	.vm_list	= LIST_HEAD_INIT(vmalloc_head.vm_list),
- *	.vm_start	= VMALLOC_START,
- *	.vm_end		= VMALLOC_END,
- *  };
- *
- * However, vmalloc_head.vm_start is variable (typically, it is dependent on
- * the amount of RAM found at boot time.)  I would imagine that get_vm_area()
- * would have to initialise this each time prior to calling vm_region_alloc().

+ * VM region handling support.
+ *
+ * This should become something generic, handling VM region allocations for
+ * vmalloc and similar (ioremap, module space, etc).
+ *
+ * I envisage vmalloc()'s supporting vm_struct becoming:
+ *
+ *  struct vm_struct {
+ *    struct vmregion	region;
+ *    unsigned long	flags;
+ *    struct page	**pages;
+ *    unsigned int	nr_pages;
+ *    unsigned long	phys_addr;
+ *  };
+ *
+ * get_vm_area() would then call vmregion_alloc with an appropriate
+ * struct vmregion head (eg):
+ *
+ *  struct vmregion vmalloc_head = {
+ *	.vm_list	= LIST_HEAD_INIT(vmalloc_head.vm_list),
+ *	.vm_start	= VMALLOC_START,
+ *	.vm_end		= VMALLOC_END,
+ *  };
+ *
+ * However, vmalloc_head.vm_start is variable (typically, it is dependent on
+ * the amount of RAM found at boot time.)  I would imagine that get_vm_area()
+ * would have to initialise this each time prior to calling vmregion_alloc().
