By itself, the patches look OK. But given that the conclusion of the generic DMA discussion was to aim for mapping approach (in order to prepare for zero copy DMA), I wonder how the patches fit to the larger picture. Perhaps instead of pci specific functions, a more generic memory object with read and write methods could be introduced, which would be more useful in the longer term?
