This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled
Subject: [PATCH 10/10] drm/radeon/kms: fix for radeon on systems >4GB
without hardware iommu
to the drm-next branch of the 2.6.32+drm33-longterm tree which can be found at
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/smb/linux-2.6.32.y-drm33.z.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/drm-next
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the drm33-longterm tree,
please reply to this email not later than 8 days after this email was sent.

Subject: [PATCH 10/10] drm/radeon/kms: fix for radeon on systems >4GB without
hardware iommu
commit 62fff811d73095bd95579d72f558f03c78f7914a upstream.
On my x86_64 system with >4GB of ram and swiotlb instead of
a hardware iommu (because I have a VIA chipset), the call
to pci_set_dma_mask (see below) with 40bits returns an error.
But it seems that the radeon driver is designed to have
need_dma32 = true exactly if pci_set_dma_mask is called
with 32 bits and false if it is called with 40 bits.
I have read somewhere that the default are 32 bits. So if the
call fails I suppose that need_dma32 should be set to true.
And indeed the patch fixes the problem I have had before
and which I had described here:
