Yeah, do it.
However,,, shouldn't the generic no-op DMA ops be checking the dma_mask of the device and bitching if it can't reach the address in question?
Also, wasn't Christoph looking at making per-device DMA ops more generic instead of an 'archdata' thing on basically every platform? Or did I just imagine that part?
Not that I'm suggesting you make the s390 patch wait for that *instead* of using archdata there, mind you. But I was kind of planning to let the dust settle on this lot before I sort out the theoretical-except- in-simulation issues with VT-d IOMMU covering *some* devices but not all.
