+From: Magnus Damm <damm at opensource.se>
+
+Update the copy_oldmem_page() function to ioremap() only
+when accessing memory that is outside the regular range
+of system memory that is managed by the kernel.
+
+Without this patch a warning is triggered in the ARM-specific
+ioremap implementation, see WARN_ON(pfn_valid()) in ioremap.c
+
+The copy_oldmem_page() function is used by the secondary crash
+kernel to access memory using the /proc/vmcore code implemented
+in fs/proc/vmcore.c. To pass information from the first kernel
+to the secondary crash kernel a kernel command line option is
+used to point out where the elf core hdr is located.
+
+The crash kernel is loaded through kexec-tools which also contains
+code that reserves memory for the elfcorehdr= option. This memory
+block is reserved _inside_ the main system memory of the secondary
+kernel. The /proc/vmcore code in the secondary kernel is however
+using copy_oldmem_page() to access both this elfcorehdr area and
+the rest of the memory used by the the first kernel.
+
+So the copy_oldmem_page() function is used to access data that
+may be located in system memory, or it may be outside. Always
+using ioremap will not work, so this patch makes it conditional
+based on pfn_valid().
+
+For more details please look at the sh7372-based example here:
