ATA requires that all DMA transfers begin and end on word boundaries. Because of this, a large amount of machinery grew up in ide to adjust scatterlists on this basis. However, as of 2.5, the block layer has a dma_alignment variable which ensures both the beginning and length of a DMA transfer are

I notice the MegaRAID driver uses outb_p. Can someone at LSI confirm that the delays between each I/O are required, and if so how long they must be. I'm trying to sort out the use of in/outb_p and where it is unneccessary or used for non ISA devices. (Please cc me on the reply) Alan - To unsubs
