It won't work if it's wrong. It'll BUG_ON, and I'll be assigned to help fix it, like what's happened here (on a private bugzilla). The "new" interface for all the other architectures is the same as the old one we've been using for the last 5 years. I welcome x86 maintainer feedback to confirm virtual and DMA addresses have the same offset at 4k alignment, but I have to insist we don't break my currently working hardware to force their attention. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
