      OMAP: DSS: VRAM: Align start & size of vram to 2M · 4422c04b
      Tomi Valkeinen 提交于
      Align the start address and size of VRAM area to 2M as per comments from
      Russell King:

      > Firstly, that's the granularity which we allocate page tables - one
      > Linux page table covers 2MB of memory.  We want to avoid creating page
      > tables for the main memory mapping as that increases TLB pressure through
      > the use of additional TLB entries, and more page table walks.

      > definitely not PAGE_SIZE.
