Hi all, I've recently beeing chatting with Lu about using dma-iommu and per-device DMA ops in the intel IOMMU driver, and one missing feature in dma-iommu is a bypass mode where the direct mapping is used even when an iommu is attached to improve performance. The powerpc code already has a similar mode, so I'd like to move it to the core DMA mapping code. As part of that I noticed that the current powerpc code has a little bug in that it used the wrong check in the dma_sync_* routines to see if the direct mapping code is used.
These two patches just add the generic code and move powerpc over, the intel IOMMU bits will require a separate discussion. The x86 AMD Gart code also has a bypass mode, but it is a lot strange, so I'm not going to touch it for now. Changes since v2: - move the dma mapping helpers out of line - check for possible direct mappings using the dma mask Changes since v1: - rebased to the current dma-mapping-for-next tree
