Well, you use the iommu api to map/unmap memory into the iommu for tegra, whereas usually device drivers just use the dma api to do that. The usual interface is dma_map_sg/dma_unmap_sg, but there are quite a few variants around. I'm just wondering why this you've choosen this. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Mail: daniel@xxxxxxxx Mobile: +41 (0)79 365 57 48 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
