I found find_next_best_node() was wrong.
I confirmed boot up by the following patch.
Mel-san, Kamalesh-san, could you try this?
Bye.

Fix decision of memoryless node in find_next_best_node().
This can be cause of SW-IOMMU's allocation failure.
This patch is for 2.6.23-rc3-mm1.

It turns out that the net/irda code didn't register any of

I missed them completely when making an authoritative list

Grumble. These numbers should have been in sysctl.h from the

Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses. This
patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA
services with devices that offer DCA services.
In order to use DCA, a modul

Andrew,
Here's a new rev of the IOAT DCA patches that are currently in -mm. These
patches include updates based on feedback on the first set, as well as a
couple of other fixes we found internally. These were originally posted
on 20-Jul-2007 - see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=1184892374273
