As the subject says ... it's the source of endless headaches, is used in a way that often prevents moving TASK_SIZE freely, etc etc etc...
What are the good and unavoidable uses of it currently that cannot be replaced by some sort of ioremap ? (Note that if the answer to the above is: page tables exist too late, I already have a reply: our initialisations happen too early, let's move things around so that ioremap is useable... pretty much everything needed to setup kernel page tables & have working ioremap can be done without any HW device access so ...)
