+The ohci1394 driver in drivers/ieee1394 initializes the OHCI-1394 controllers
+to a working state and enables physical DMA by default for all remote nodes.
+This can be turned off by ohci1394's module parameter phys_dma=0.

+The alternative firewire-ohci driver in drivers/firewire uses filtered physical
