I think the word 'io' implies this is the case.. Let me make a patch for this avenue then, I think it is not OK to add pgprot_decrypted to every driver.. We already have the special distinction with io and non-io remap, that seems better. > > I saw your original patch series edited a few drivers this way, but > > not nearly enough.

Hum, I assume it is broken also. Actually quite a swath of drivers and devices will be broken under this :\ Jason
