IIRC the translations list doesn't contain the mappings for the ROM 
itself as the pages are mapped directly during startup. But since 
va2pa() and pa2va() are only used by ofmem_posix_memalign() (i.e. 
internal ofmem_malloc() allocations only), they are guaranteed to lie 
within the address space for the ROM image which makes things easier.


ATB,

Mark.
