Will do in v2, thanks.

I will keep the address @free-electrons.com (since there is no matching
@bootlin.com address). Although that address was broken at the time of
sending v1, it should be a valid redirect nowadays.

The VPU can only access the first 256 MiB of DRAM, that are DMA-mapped
starting from the DRAM base. This requires specific memory allocation
and handling. I'll add the information in v2.

Will do in v2.
