I think I've asked this twice already, how is that possible ?
As you said before only sparc and blackfin architectures have define HAVE_ARCH_FB_UNMAPPED_AREA and get_fb_unmapped_area(). For stm32f4 (ARMv7m) I plan to only add HAVE_ARCH_FB_UNMAPPED_AREA and use this default function
Ah, so it's for support of a future patch. You should explain that in the commit message.
OK
The other question I asked was whether it would be possible to come up with a generic implementation of this function that would work on all architectures. At first sight the blackfin implementation is similar, but the sparc one is quite different. Why does it have to be arch-specific ?
I don't know but I guess it is link to how memory is mmapped by the architecture
Well, how about trying to find out then ? :-)
By testing those two flags I avoid to define twince get_fb_unmapped_area() if the architecture already provide it.

unsigned long addr, unsigned longlen,
unsigned long pgoff, unsigned longflags) +{
