msm: Allow lowmem to be non contiguous and mixed
Currently on 32 bit systems, virtual space above
PAGE_OFFSET is reserved for direct mapped lowmem
and part of virtual address space is reserved for
vmalloc. We want to optimize such as to have as
much direct mapped memory as possible since there is
penalty for mapping/unmapping highmem. Now, we may
have an image that is expected to have a lifetime of
the entire system and is reserved in physical region
that would be part of direct mapped lowmem. The
physical memory which is thus reserved is never used
by Linux. This means that even though the system is
not actually accessing the virtual memory
corresponding to the reserved physical memory, we
are still losing that portion of direct mapped lowmem
space.
So by allowing lowmem to be non contiguous we can
give this unused virtual address space of reserved
region back for use in vmalloc.
