We are developing a board based on Freescale 8641D which can get 4GB of 
ram. So I need 4GB+IOs (~1GB) of physical addressing space.
My plan is to put a part of this ram above of 4GB to keep accesses to 
the IOs below the 4GB limit. It means non-contiguous ram addressing and 
XAEN features to be working.
Where can I glance through Becky patches ?
