[PATCH v2] fsl-diu-fb: Update Freescale DIU driver to use page_alloc_exact()

From: Timur Tabi
Date: Thu Jul 17 2008 - 17:26:26 EST


Update the Freescale DIU driver to use page_alloc_exact() to allocate a
DMA buffer. This also eliminates the rheap-based memory allocator. We
can do this now because commit 6ccf61f9 allows us to allocate 8MB physically-
contiguous memory blocks.

Fix printk format specifiers, per Andrew Morton.

My other patch, "Add alloc_pages_exact() and free_pages_exact()", must be
applied first, otherwise drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c will not compile.
