This is not true, the framework allows multiply such types and in fact Sparc64 takes advantage of this. We have about 4 or 5 different PCI controllers, and the IOMMUs are slightly different in each. Even with the standard PCI DMA mapping calls, we can gather the platform private information necessary to program the IOMMU appropriately for a given chipset. The dma_mapping_ops idea will never get accepted by folks like Linus, for reasons I've outlined in previous emails in this thread. So, it's best to look elsewhere for solutions to your problem, such as the ideas used by the USB and IEE1394 device layers. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
