This looks like it wouldn't scale to handle the Sparc systems. There we want to make more translation steps from DVMA addresses to physical in DMA controller and IOMMU and only in the final stage to void *. To handle this, probably there should be an opaque parameter and some way to register the translation function. Otherwise the API looks OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
