Its design was basically to facilitate the use of bus remote memory. There's a long thread somewhere discussing this with the ARM people. They had some type of SoC implementation that needed to allocate local memory for device descriptors. The Q720 is pretty much the same way, so I used it to build the implementation when I created it for the ARM people. This is the original thread: http://marc.info/?t=108757862100001 They said they were implementing this system, so I've no idea what happened. However, what are the problems the API is causing? it seems useful, so there should be a preference in its favour of existence unless it's causing a problem.
