NAME
       virt_to_phys - map virtual addresses to physical


SYNOPSIS
       unsigned long virt_to_phys  (volatile void * address);


ARGUMENTS
       address
              address to remap


DESCRIPTION
       The  returned  physical  address  is the physical (CPU) mapping for the
       memory address given.  It  is  only  valid  to  use  this  function  on
       addresses directly mapped or allocated via kmalloc.

       This  function  does not give bus mappings for DMA transfers. In almost
       all conceivable cases a device driver should not be using this function
