Do you mean this one?
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=123600398003826&w=3

That patch works for me on 2.6.29-rc7, but leaving out the changes to mmu.c, as 
I guess you read later in the thread.

Do you still have the non-linear mapping macros in 
arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/include/mach/memory.h?  Note that somewhere between 2.6.28 
and 2.6.29-rc7, someone removed the #ifdef check in 
arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h.  I had to add it back, otherwise the new 
non-linear mapping was not used, like before.  (But __phys_to_virt & 
__virt_to__phys were re-defined, generating warnings during the compile, so it 
wasn't silent like before).

Does this happen at boot, or cat /proc/pagetypeinfo?

I think it would be great if these patches could go upstream!

Also, I see that HRT for ep93xx has been dropped from the linuxrt patch, but I 
think it was an accident, and shouldn't need much work to bring it forward 
again.  I plan to look at that in the next few weeks, time permitting.  It 
would be great if we could get HRT in your patchset, without the whole linuxrt 
patch.
