I guess its fine.. In answer to the original query. It seems that this 
PCIe bridge requires explicit cache operations for DMA from PCIe 
endpoints. This wasn't obvious to me at first reading because I was 
assuming the custom DMA ops were strictly to deal with the stated DMA 
limits.

So if you end up respinning, it still might be worthy mentioning 
somewhere that this is a non-coherent PCIe implementation. I still hold 
much of my original reservations about pieces of this driver. 
Particularly, how it might look if someone wanted to boot the RPi using 
ACPI on linux. But, I was shown a clever bit of AML recently, which 
solves those problems for the RPi and the attached XHCI.

So, given how much time I've looked at the root port configuration/etc 
sections of this driver and I've not found a serious bug:

Thanks,
