On my system, this translation returns the same address so it was not necessary. And, yes, that means this would have to find its way into the dma mapping routine somehow. This means we'll eventually need a way to look-up the p2pmem device from the struct page. Which means we will likely need a new flag bit in the struct page or something. The big difficulty I see is testing. Do you know what architectures or in what circumstances are these translations used? > When behind the same switch you need to use PCI addresses.

Probably for starters we'd want to explicitly deny cases between host bridges and add that later if someone wants to do the testing. Thanks, Logan
