Nope, only the two I mentioned (simply because they are more common on platforms that have >4G and/or an IOMMU). But - wait - the 8139too has a fixed DMA window (due to some older chips) and therefore does copying to/from a pre-allocated bounce buffer on its own. That makes it work with IOMMUs as well.
