I compared this a bit to what I had around against an older kernel,
and I think we should probably go with something more like the
version I had, which I can dust off again.
What I've done is to:
1) provide the get_required_mask unconditionally in struct dma_map_ops
2) default to what is the current dma_get_required_mask implementation
if nothing else is specified.
What I still had on my todo list but not done yet:
3) go through all instances and check if the current default
makes sense, at it based on direct addressability. For most
iommu instances it seems like we should just return a 64-bit mask.
4) figure out how to take the dma offsets into account for it
5) move the function to the dma-direct code, as that is where it
belongs
5) figure out if there is a better name for the method, as with
swiotlb & co it isn't really the required mask, but more something
like the optimal mask
6) document the whole thing..
7) sort out the powerpc indirection mess.
Do you agree with that general plan? If so I can dust off my old
patch.
