Hello Takashi et al.,

I build and boot successfully kernel 32bit including your patch on 2 systems
(a b2k using sba and a d380 using ccio).

Thanks for testing!

welcome ;-)

I just noticed that the above code is ~ the same; otoh there is also a
iommu-helpers.h containing also common code to those 2 drivers. So may be for
easiest maintenance, could you merge and move this code in this 'helper' as
follow:
--- ./drivers/parisc/iommu-helpers.h.Orig	2008-08-01 12:57:22.000000000 +0000
+++ ./drivers/parisc/iommu-helpers.h	2008-08-22 08:07:26.000000000 +0000

That sounds like a good idea.

One concern is to define a non-inline function in *.h.  But,

Yes (I thought too but didn't find any other good reason then avoiding useless duplicate code)

iommu-helper.h is included only by these two drivers, so there is no
problem as now, although a comment would be more helpful.

Yes I hope it will be enough for this stuff to be accepted ;-)


diff --git a/include/asm-parisc/dma-mapping.h b/include/asm-parisc/dma-mapping.h
index 53af696..5b357b3 100644
--- a/include/asm-parisc/dma-mapping.h
+++ b/include/asm-parisc/dma-mapping.h
The small issue encountered: against latest Kyle git tree (dated 2008-07-29)
this file was moved in arch/parisc/include/asm.

Yes.  My patches are still based on older version (2.6.27-rc2 or so).

git cares renaming well, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
I just tested it now and git-pull (oh now it's "git pull" :) renames
it automatically indeed.

Cool (tbh I know very few about git just git clone to grab a tree and git pull to get update from time to time ;-))


thanks,

Takashi
