I couldn't tell the difference between that I add a section in arm_cp15_start_mmu_config_table, then change the start address, end address to the right value, and that I add the entry at runtime. I didn't see any allocation in both ways. Maybe I just need to setup the entry? Or maybe what I've got is an undetermined result.
