Ok, thanks. One more question, IOMMU H/W sometimes supports more platform specific attributes than READ/WRITE. For example, in OMAP, #define IOMMU_FLAG (IOVMF_ENDIAN_LITTLE | IOVMF_ELSZ_8) Is there any way to deal with those platform specific attrs from DMA mapping API POV? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
