Subject: mailing list for the dma mapping code

Hi all,

currently the dma-mapping code doesn't have a dedicated mailing list,
and thus posts get lots on linux-kernel. I wonder if we should add
a new separate list for it, or if it makes sense to reuse the existing
iommu list given that there is a fair amount of overlap.

I don't think that having one more mailing list is really needed. IOMMU
ml is fine for me if its current users are not against using also for
generic DMA-mapping related talks.
