Sparc64 boxes will have this at some point, but what I'm going to do is simply fill in the dev_archdata properly at device scan time. Instead of doing a bus walk up the parent every IOMMU request, why not cache those results in the dev_archdata? That seems to make the most sense. If there is some probing complexity, catch not-setup dev_archdata at the IOMMU request, and slow path into a resolver of some sort. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
