Patch from Nicolas Pitre This should be applied on top of patch #2154/1. This maps the XIP kernel in the same virtual area as used for kernel modules instead of the previous arbitrary location. Doing so has the advantage of having a well defined kernel address not conflicting with the different definitions for VMALLOC_END, as well as making modules loadable without any indirect long branch calls. The work on XIPable MTD also requires this with code marked __xipram for the same reason. This of course reduces the space available for kernel modules from 16MB to either 14MB or 12MB depending on the size of the resulting kernel but that shouldn't be a real issue at all, given that the whole purpose behind XIP is to execute as much stuff from flash, which is better achieved by compiling drivers in the kernel directly.
