Right...
Ultimately it will be advisable to extract the ARM VTOP() and PTOV()
macros into machine-dependent functions, i.e., similar to the X86_64
and IA64 architectures. And in those functions, intelligence will
have to be applied to determine how to handle the various ARM types.
I agree. We need to start to separate different ARM platforms where normal
v<->p rules don't apply and add necessary code to perform the translations.
