OK, you don't seem to be understanding the problem: the Altix isn't a
LSI card, it was a SGI platform.
Got it.
It was the platform where we first
discovered the issue that a lot of storage cards didn't work because it
by default had no memory below 4GB. The reason coherent masks were
introduced was initially so the Altix could manufacture and manage a
region of memory in the lower 4GB region and we would guarantee to make
allocations from it so the storage cards would then work on that
platform.
I can't fix the issue if the card cannot do 64 bit DMA when IOMMU is not
there. I need IOMMU enabled all the time for this card.
