-[PATCH] vpu-io: fix IOSystemInit failure
-
-When using a kernel where user/kernel split is 3G/1G, the address
-returned by IOGetVirtMem() can appear to be a negative int.
-
-IOSystemInit() incorrectly checks the return value of IOGetVirtMem().
-IOGetVirtMem() returns -1 on error (and not MAP_FAILED, nor any other
-negative value.)
-
-Fix that by correctly checking against -1 (and not MAP_FAILED!)
