I'll add the check on the destination address. The call is modeled after

those functions do not check for the alignment requirements either.

So just because they don't check, you don't need to check either?

No what I mean was those primitives are missing the checks and we should probably address that at some point.


Can you guarantee that all callers will always do the right thing?

I mean, if you don't care too much, why even write "(must be 512-bit
aligned)"? Who cares then if the data is aligned or not...



+ * @dst: destination, in MMIO space (must be 512-bit aligned)
+ * @src: source
+ * @count: number of 512 bits quantities to submit

Where's that check on the data?

I don't follow?

What do you do if the caller doesn't submit data in 512 bits quantities?


How would I detect that? Add a size (in bytes) parameter for the total source data?
