    m68k/atari: ARAnyM - Fix NatFeat module support · e8184e10
    Geert Uytterhoeven 提交于
    As pointed out by Andreas Schwab, pointers passed to ARAnyM NatFeat calls
    should be physical addresses, not virtual addresses.
    
    Fortunately on Atari, physical and virtual kernel addresses are the same,
    as long as normal kernel memory is concerned, so this usually worked fine
    without conversion.
    
    But for modules, pointers to literal strings are located in vmalloc()ed
    memory. Depending on the version of ARAnyM, this causes the nf_get_id()
    call to just fail, or worse, crash ARAnyM itself with e.g.
    
        Gotcha! Illegal memory access. Atari PC = $968c
    
    This is a big issue for distro kernels, who want to have all drivers as
    loadable modules in an initrd.
    
    Add a wrapper for nf_get_id() that copies the literal to the stack to
    work around this issue.
