I'll update the commit message in the next version. This makes things less efficient, because it requires more instructions and registers inside the alternative section, and your function duplicates the logic from arch_sync_dma_for_device(). The alternative is already passed the operation (clean/flush/invalidate) as a token, so you can construct the function name with token pasting. Regards, Samuel
