Its still a horrible idea to have this in drivers/, we need some core API to mediate this behavior. Also if the device supports using virtual addresses dma_nommu_ops seems wrong as it won't do the right thing for e.g. vmalloc addresses not mapped into the kernel linear mapping (which I guess can't currently happen on powerpc, but still..) _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
