chipped paint problem!

Options
I have recently stripped the wall paper off my bedroom wall, (this came off really easy - 30 min and the whole room was done) however, with the paper that came off, so did some of the eggshell paint! this has left patches all over the bedroom wall, i am in fear that if i just paint over it, then you will be able to see the uneveness! will a few coats of paint do the trick? do i have to remove all chipped paint? do i have to use a filler? is there an easy solution? can someone please help? i can't afford to have the room plastered / skimmed so this isn't really an option!

    fill the hollows or sand down the edges to feather them in.
    use a large sanding block to get the required result.
    Get some gorm.
