And for starters, we can check no_iommu.

Also we should not introduce BUG_ON() trivially into user code paths (/dev/agp). -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
