In the setup.c file for the jazz board, is written:

        add_wired_entry (0x02000017, 0x03c00017, 0xe0000000, PM_64K);
        add_wired_entry (0x02400017, 0x02440017, 0xe2000000, PM_16M);
        add_wired_entry (0x01800017, 0x01000017, 0xe4000000, PM_4M);


Why do these physical addresses which are all below 512MB need TLB entries?
