Hi Arnd,

Regarding the amiga_chip_alloc(), I don't know what this means
for caching. If chip memory is cache-coherent (either uncached
or by snooping), then there should not be any
dma_map()/dma_unmap() for that case, but instead the
amiga_chip_alloc() function should return both the pointer
and the dma_addr_t token.

Chip RAM is mapped uncached.
Amifb remaps it using ioremap_wt() to get a write-through frame buffer.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
