today:
- dcssblk: s390 dcss block device driver
An address space operation named get_xip_page is used to retrieve reference
to a struct page. To address the target page, a reference to an address_space,
and a sector number is provided. A 3rd argument indicates whether the
function should allocate blocks if needed.
An address space operation named get_xip_mem is used to retrieve references
to a page frame number and a kernel address. To obtain these values a reference
to an address_space is provided. This function assigns values to the kmem and
pfn parameters. The third argument indicates whether the function should allocate
blocks if needed.
This address space operation is mutually exclusive with readpage&writepage that
do page cache read/write operations.
