Hi Marek,
Is this the same patch that Russell had to revert because it didn't
work on some of the older machines, in particular those using
dmabounce?
I thought that our discussion ended with the plan to use this only
for ARMv6+ (which has a problem with double mapping) but not on ARMv5
and below (which don't have this problem but might need dmabounce).
