Hi Jens,
Several embedded storage controllers need support for DMA segments that are
smaller than the size of one virtual memory page. Hence this patch series.
Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.
Thanks,
Bart.
Changes compared to v1:
- Added a CONFIG variable that controls whether or not small segment support
is enabled.
- Improved patch descriptions.
