While investigating a lockup at startup on Powerbook 3400C, it was
identified that the fbdev driver generates alignment exception at
startup:

This is due to 'dcbz' instruction being used on non-cached memory.
'dcbz' instruction is used by memset() to zeroize a complete
cacheline at once, and memset() is not expected to be used on non
cached memory.
When performing a 'sparse' check on fbdev driver, it also appears
that the use of memset() is unexpected:
drivers/video/fbdev/chipsfb.c:334:17: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/video/fbdev/chipsfb.c:334:17: expected void *
drivers/video/fbdev/chipsfb.c:334:17: got char [noderef] __iomem *screen_base
drivers/video/fbdev/chipsfb.c:334:15: warning: memset with byte count of 1048576
Use fb_memset() instead of memset(). fb_memset() is defined as
memset_io() for powerpc.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
