Note: this was just a test module doing tlbie(0xc0000100)... 
Hum, it should also print out the address in question...

128M

Right now VMALLOC_START is before the IMMR pinned space.

Oh! What are the side effects of such pinning as the 
code is today?

The only issue I see with pinning virtual address translations
farther the the physical addresses (real space) is that we lose
some virtual space, but nothing more than that.

Is it only that?

For what purpose? Sorry I don't get you, please be more
verbose.
