Re: [Xen-devel] Using mini-os ioremap()

[Matthew Fioravante <matthew.fioravante@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 My box doesn't have more than 4GB. I've tried this on 32 bit and 64 bit.

I tried nuking the mfn_is_ram check. When I do that the call returns a 
virtual memory address but when I try to read and write to it, it 
appears to act just like a normal page of memory and not the device.
Does anyone know offhand of a mini-os project that either tested the 
ioremap() call or actually does some memory mapped io operations?
