Eh, sorry, I was confused. It has *both* shared memory and a DMA engine.

Do you by chance have an example (maybe in -current somewhere) of the
shared memory stuff? I found some DMA stuff in ahc_pci.c:
/* Allocate a dmatag for our SCB DMA maps */
/* XXX Should be a child of the PCI bus dma tag */
error = bus_dma_tag_create(/*parent*/NULL, /*alignment*/0,
/*boundary*/0,
/*lowaddr*/BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR_32BIT,
/*highaddr*/BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR,
/*filter*/NULL, /*filterarg*/NULL,
/*maxsize*/MAXBSIZE,
/*nsegments*/AHC_NSEG,
/*maxsegsz*/AHC_MAXTRANSFER_SIZE,
/*flags*/BUS_DMA_ALLOCNO
but I admit it is not too clear (yet..) what all the parameters do.
Most (?) drivers seem to use the older framework (can I distinguish
those by COMPAT_PCI_DRIVER() ?).
Thanks,
Wilko
