This goes back to my original comment to make this capability a function of the pci bridge itself. The kernel has an implementation of a dynamically created bridge device that injects its own dma_ops for the devices behind the bridge. See vmd_setup_dma_ops() in drivers/pci/host/vmd.c. > What does the p2p provider do when it detects a p2p page? Check to see if the arch requires this offset translation that Ben brought up and if not provide the physical address as the patches are doing now.
