On platforms with I/O MMU hardware, memory above 4GB, and IDE hard disks, this check: BUG_ON(dma_addr < BLK_BOUNCE_ISA); causes an instant panic. The reason is quite obvious: since there is an I/O MMU, BLK_BOUNCE_ISA is effectively unlimited, and most IDE controllers can of course DMA only to <4GB. So, the check is wrong. I think the proper way to fix this is to pass a "struct dev" into the routine and then to use dma_supported() to check whether bounce buffers will be needed. Do you agree? If so, can you fix it?
