The -map_atomic and map functions add the requested offset to the base of the -virtual address returned by ioremap_wc. - -On 32-bit processors with HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc uses -kmap_atomic_pfn to map the specified page in an atomic fashion; -kmap_atomic_pfn isn't really supposed to be used with device pages, but it -provides an efficient mapping for this usage. - -On 32-bit processors without HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc and -io_mapping_map_wc both use ioremap_wc, a terribly inefficient function which -performs an IPI to inform all processors about the new mapping. This results -in a significant performance penalty.
