The vtophys() function is used to get the physical page address for
the virtually allocated frame buffers when a physically continuous
memory area is not available. This change also allows removing the
masking of the FB_FLAG_NOMMAP flag in the PS3 syscons driver.
The FB and VT drivers were tested using X.org/xf86-video-scfb and
syscons.
GENERIC64 for PowerPC to use vt with it.
Much to my chagrin, PS3 support seems to have bitrotted somewhat since the
last time I tried it. ehci panics on attach and interrupt handling seems
to be faulty. This should be fixed soon...
available on firmwares 3.15 and earlier.
Caveats: Support for the internal SATA controller is currently missing,
as is support for framebuffer resolutions other than 720x480. These
deficiencies will be remedied soon.
Special thanks to Peter Grehan for providing the hardware that made this
port possible, and thanks to Geoff Levand of Sony Computer Entertainment
for advice on the LV1 hypervisor.
