I'm the frontline maintainer of swiotlb and related stuff so if you want to
follow
the proper protocol you should wait until I give you my Ack.
I need to check this patch out and then also test-run them on IA64, AMD-VI,
Calgary-X
GART and Intel VT-d to make a sanity test.
However, this particular patch can go outside the mega-patchset you have. So you
could post the mega-patchset to hpa without this being in it and just mention
that there is this extra one that Konrad is handling.
