This reverts commit dfd55ad85e4a7fbaa82df12467515ac3c81e8a3e.

Commit dfd55ad85e4a ("arm64: vmemmap: use virtual projection of linear
region") causes this failure on Cavium Thunder systems:

[...]

See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/484866 for a
proposed fix.


Yes, that patch fixes it for me. I withdraw my patch to revert.

Thanks,
David Daney
