I think allowing DMA mask range limiting in the IOMMU layer is going to set a very bad precedence, just don't do it. It's 2006, we should be way past the era of not putting the full 32 PCI DMA address bits in devices. In this day and age it is simply inexscusable. Maybe we could understand chips coming out 8 years ago when a lot of designs were transitioning from ISA to PCI, but that no longer applies in any way today. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
